APPLICATIONS CLOSING EARLY - FULLY BOOKED with long waiting list. Twice a year – Spring and Autumn – the Landmark Art Fairs provide a unique setting for individual artists who make high-quality fine art to exhibit and sell their work directly to the public. No galleries, no dealers, just the artists themselves with a stunning array of painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, printmaking, ceramics and more. Visitors are able to browse from an array of over 75 stands with artists from the local area and beyond. From watercolour paintings to textural ceramic sculptures. The art fairs have established themselves as significant events in the visual arts calendar.
