Affordable Art Fair, Battersea Park, March 2011

Last weekend I went with the boyf to the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park.

It was my second time visiting the fair, and I wanted to enjoy it as much as I had the time previously, but unfortunately I found it a disappointment.

The fair just felt very disjointed this time, with the various artistic genres juxtaposed, and the quality letting it down.

Next time it would be great to see the genres grouped into sections, making it a customer-friendly experience, and also a higher standard of art.

I assume that the stands are filled by whichever gallery offers their money but there really ought to be a panel that judges each application on its own merit.

It’s a shame as I think that art can often be very exclusive so events like this really open it up to the wider audience.

Fingers crossed for next time!

Affordable Art Fair – A great place to browse art, discover talent and of course, pick up a bargain or two.


Paris Fashion Week highlights – From Chanel’s post-apocalyptic show to McQueen’s chilling ‘The Ice Queen and Her Court’ collection; It was incredible week for fashion.

Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx – Gil Scott-Heron’s first album in thirteen years, produced by music darling of the moment, The xx’s Jamie Smith. A fantastic collaboration.

Holly Fulton scarf for Asos – Celebrating Fairtrade fortnight, love the art deco skyscraper print. Definitely one for my wish list.

Yunis & Eliza jewellery – Scupltured jewellery never looked better. A name to watch out for!

Clocks go back – Dust off your summer clothing and get ready for evenings spent in a pub garden. British summertime officially begins on Sunday 28 March. Summer here we come!
