What the artists said about BAF07:

Entrance Lobby - Road Roller Prints
On Monday 24th in the lane behind the Corn Exchange we will be printing 6 specially commissioned large prints by Helen Brown, Ann D'Arcy Hughes, Brenda Hartill, Bernard Lodge, Hugh Ribbans, & Jane Sampson.
As the prints are too large to fit in the press, we
will be using a road roller to apply the required pressure. Printmaking
as performance art!.
Finished prints will be displayed for sale in the BAF lobby during the show - along with photos of the printing.

Entrance - The ARTHOUSE@meath
This year the ARTHOUSE@meath will be exhibiting again in the entrance area. The ARTHOUSE@meath is a social enterprise situated at the Meath Centre in Godalming.
It offers people with epilepsy, learning and physical disabilities the chance to work closely with professional artists to create artworks in printmaking and painting.
Clients of all abilities are involved in creating high quality art work. The result is fresh, vibrant and stimulating.
Its principle aims are to provide residents with an environment that promotes a sense of creative independence and helps develop feelings of self-worth, confidence and pride, whilst also raising public awareness about the conditions of the Meaths Clients. Proceeds from exhibition sales go back into the project and to the Meath Clients as incentive payments.
The ARTHOUSE@meath has been running part time since October 2005 and in June this year became full time with building work complete. Already work has been shown this year at The Ruskin, The London Art and Design Show, generating sales, interest and requests for more exhibitions. Anne Thomas, an elderly client who only started drawing in October one session a week was entered for the art awards for over 60’s. Her work was accepted to show in The Mall Galleries and she then won the £1000 winning picture prize.
What the artists said about past Art Fairs:
“very well organised event. Well done… go to top of the class”
“this fair is absolutely brilliant”
"I thought Brighton was excellent as you got a lot of people through the door (the right sort of people for me)" - Lin Osborn
"Brighton Art Fair was an excellent event, I sold 10 large paintings and walked away with a small fortune in my pocket, not to mention no stock left!" - Alexander Slatter
"I really enjoyed the whole experience, from talking to the visitors and meeting other artists. My sales and contacts that I made have been great. I'm looking forward to applying again." - Barbara Burns.
"Brighton Art Fair is the only art fair I do myself, the others I leave to galleries to do for me, that must say something! BAF is both relaxed and professional. In the two years I've shown I've sold a large volume of paintings with existing buyers returning and enthusiastic new buyers emerging. It's great to meet those buying your paintings too, from the serious collector to the impulsive first time buyer. I'd definitely recommend it" - Angela Charles
