What to expect at the art show of the year
What a truly exciting exhibition we have lined up – it’s going to be bursting with beautiful artworks. Online ticket sales are now closed, so buy your ticket at the venue when you come along. Masks will be encouraged at the show, but not mandatory.
All the art will be replenished as it is sold, so purchases are taken home with the buyer at the time of sale, allowing the artists to showcase all of their works across the weekend. Most of the artists will be on-site so you can meet them, have a chat, and form a connection!
Those who are coming to the sold-out VIP Preview and Gala Evening can look forward to good food, wine, beer and music – and of course all of the ART. Keep on reading for the line-up…
