THE ARTS S N A P S H O T S O F B AT H ’ S C U LT U R A L L I F E
CREATING SPACE We’ve got a new regular date for your calendars. The Bath Contemporary Artists Fair launched this autumn, and will take place in Green Park Station every month – the next one is coming up on 8 November. An art fair for artists launched by Malachi Bogdanov, the former associate director of the English Shakespeare Company, it is about supporting artists from all mediums by giving them a space to exhibit in a commission-free, affordable way. In the main, art fairs are very expensive (for everyone involved – visitor and artist) and often only happen once a year, which makes it hard for many talented artists to get their work out there. The BCAF aims to be the antidote to this, a regular meeting space where big name national and international artists share space with emerging talent and lesser known creators. It’ll be a space for artists to connect to the public – and for us to connect to art. With works like Serendipity (pictured), a beautiful portrait in Gouache and water soluable crayon by Jonathan Kinkead on show, we can’t wait.
