Bath Contemporary Artists’ Fair is a unique, monthly arts event where artists can exhibit and sell their work commission-free in the heart of Bath.
Bath Contemporary Artists’ Fair (BCAF) brings quality original art to the heart of the community on a monthly basis. It is free for the public and simultaneously promotes the City of Bath while, above all, promotes its artists.
As a curated event, BCAF can nurture emerging talent as well as control the quality of artwork on show to the public, giving them the best experience and the best that Bath and beyond has to offer.
We are fulfilling our mission to support local artists and supporting Green Park Station as a vital hub at the heart of the local community.
We have created a valuable cultural opportunity for younger generations, as well as the more experienced. We are helping artists connect with the community and the public to connect with art.
Art is a global activity in which a large number of disciplines are included: painting, sculpture, photography and ceramics to name but a few. Bath Contemporary Artists’ Fair supports all mediums and promotes the importance of art in the community, filling 500 spaces a year.
Bath Contemporary Artists’ Fair is a creative hub, a physical place, which brings creative people together. It is a facilitator, providing space and support for networking, development of ideas and community engagement within the creative, cultural, and other arts sectors.
Introducing the BCAF Mentoring Programme
Bath Contemporary Artists’ Fair, in association with Bath Festivals, are proud to announce their first ever ‘Artists’ Mentoring Programme’. The art world can be a minefield for even the most experienced!
A mentor can serve as a critical sounding board throughout the career of an artist, providing an insider’s perspective and guidance they may not be able to get from other sources. The role of a mentor is to listen, learn and advise, helping the artist to realise their potential and goals.
