ARTS INTRO Bath’s newest art fair

THE ARTS

SNAPSHOTS OF BATH’S CULTURAL LIFE

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, aff ordable 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. Monthly; 10am-5pm; Green Park Station; www.bcaf.co.uk
