Scotland’s National Art Fair, the Glasgow Art Fair 2010, is held from 25th – 28th March. This is the 15th year of the Fair and throughout this time, the Fair has built and sustained a well deserved reputation as an event where the best quality contemporary art, using varied media, is showcased. Both well established artists and new talent are equally represented.

The prominent white marquees, located in George Square which is itself a dominant feature of the Glaswegian landscape, are full to the brim with outstanding examples of contemporary art from 46 galleries especially selected for the exhibition. These galleries hail from throughout Scotland, the rest of the UK, Europe and beyond and represent around 1,000 artists. It is anticipated that approximately 16,500 people will visit the Fair in 2010.

Glasgow has become renowned for its patronage of visual arts and the Art Fair has, over the past decade and a half, become established as a springboard from which emerging talent is able to gain exposure to the buying public.

One special feature of the 2010 Glasgow Art Fair is a special exhibition of work by the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (RGI). This Institute was founded in 1860 and is active in the promotion of contemporary art works by Scottish artists.

The Fair is the ideal place in Scotland to purchase, sell or simply view art, whether you are an avid collector, a casual purveyor, or just interested in art.  Art works can be purchased for as little as £50, whilst others attract prices in excess of £70,000.
