Free Friday evening private view of the Affordable Art Fair, with original artworks priced at £500 or less by local artists.
St Albans Artists Network is taking over Kingsbury Barn for their Affordable Art Fair, which kicks off with a private view on Friday 20 November from 6pm to 9pm. The fair then stays open through Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November, from 10am to 4pm each day. The whole thing is free to enter, and the original work on display is priced at £500 or less, so it's a fair you can actually walk through with a budget in mind rather than just window-shopping.
Behind the fair is the St Albans Artists Network, a local group where artists and art lovers share work and connect with the city's creative community. The fair is their way of bringing that network into the open for a few days, with original pieces from local artists on the walls. The Friday evening private view is the first chance to see it all before the main fair opens to the general public on Saturday morning.
The venue is Kingsbury Barn on Branch Road, a Grade II* listed medieval timber-framed barn used for exhibitions and heritage activity. It's a proper piece of local history, and the fair takes over the whole space for the weekend. Each day of the fair is introduced by its own free Friday evening private view, and there's no booking required to attend—you just turn up.
