It is only a few days to go until the Autumn Fair opens, which is again being held at Birmingham’s NEC (National Exhibition Centre) from Sunday 2nd – Wednesday 5th September 2007. The Fair is for the art trade and gallery owners.
Traditionally one of the big two Trade/Supplier events that Gallery owners visit, I will be attending to see the new releases and to meet our suppliers, whether that is the suppliers of artwork itself (i.e. the publishers), manufacturers of the frames or a whole manner of other Gallery related items.
The Autumn Fair state:
“The timing of Autumn Fair is impeccable. This impressive showcase of big brands, major global suppliers and innovative home-grown producers offers a pre-Christmas buying opportunity that is second to none. Plus with 90% of exhibitors launching new products, this is your chance to preview some attention-grabbing trends for Spring.â€
The Autumn fair believe this is a good time for galleries to attend and buy their new stock for the Christmas selling period but I also expect people attend to catch up with the latest news and gossip from their various contacts throughout the industry. It’s also nice to put a picture to the face of people you speak to throughout the year.
Entry is free to the trade and you can register online at the Autumn Fair website.
One of the UK’s biggest art publishers, Washington Green Fine Art will be having their own event showcase at the Birmingham International Convention Centre (ICC) starting this Saturday 2nd September. They will be an exclusive showing of their new releases to the art trade, at the ICC.
