EleVate to affordable
art
The eleVated Art Fair, the only affordable art fair in the City
of London, runs from Monday 22 June until Friday 26 June, at
Leadenhall Market.
This year it will be exhibiting emerging talents from around the
world displaying a wide array of urban and cult art, oil and
acrylic paintings, watercolours, photography, architectural and
digital art. Prices will range from £20 to £1,000, so will
suit even the most wallet-constrained art
buyer.
There will be pieces for all interiors and tastes as well as the
most diverse selection of City-related artworks and prints.
All the pieces are purchased direct from the artist so are
commission free.
Nick Johnston, Leadenhall Market Manager, said
“This is an unusual chance for people to buy unique pieces of
contemporary art at reasonable prices and direct from the artists
themselves. Art offers an affordable alternative investment
option and in the current economic climate its returns can be more
reliable.”
The fair will be open daily from 11.00am to 3.00pm as well as
5.30pm to 7.30pm on Thursday. There will also be live art
events and entertainment at Leadenhall Market throughout the course
of the fair.
