Wakefield Art Fair 2012
Wakefield Arts Fair
23th - 26th May 2012
The Town Hall, Wakefield
Gallery Arts exhibition society are currently organising an art fair at Wakefield Town Hall and would like to invite local clubs and individual artist/ demonstrators and photographers to join us.
WMDC have kindly offered to host the event and have allocated use of the Kingswood Suite which is a very large room within the Town Hall. I feel sure this will be an excellent venue and we are very grateful to councillor Peter Box for his enthusiasm and support to ensure this much needed event will take place.
We are in the process of planning the exhibition and hope many artists will wish to take part therefore we would appreciate your early registration if you would like to join us. A website has been set up for registration purposes http://www.wakefieldartfair.co.uk where you will also find general information about the event and details of participating clubs / societies /demonstrators and sponsors. Space will be allocated on a first come first served basis so it is important when registering that you let us know how much space will be required to accommodate your individual exhibition. Details of space available and costs involved will be posted on the website within the next few weeks.
You will need to supply your own stands / tables and also be available to set up, man your exhibition throughout and take it down on the last day. You will also need to take responsibility for your own and others’ safety and the security of your artwork and equipment. I recommend taking out public liability insurance which can be obtained from www.saa.co.uk should you need it. Most art groups will already have insurance as this is a normal requirement so please check beforehand.
We hope the Wakefield Art Fair will become a regular event which will provide amateur artists with a much needed venue to exhibit their work as well as a purpose to paint. We hope to see it grow annually and become a well know event where people can exhibit, learn new techniques through demonstrations and purchase quality pieces of the work of local artists.
Amateur artists in the Wakefield district deserve to have their work exhibited but there are currently few opportunities. Hopefully this year’s exhibition will be the first of many so please join us to ensure the success of our first and future events.
Kind Regards
