From ‘Home Beautiful’, read article here
Hands up if you’ve ever dreamt of collecting art but feel intimated by the aspirational price tags. We feel you, and so do the good people at the Affordable Art Fair, which is returning to Sydney and Melbourne in 2023.
More than 20 years after the first Affordable Art Fair took place in London, it’s stronger than ever, held annually in 10 cities around the world. The fair’s mission? To give everyone the opportunity to purchase contemporary original art, whether new to art collecting or a seasoned admirer.
“After the swell of support for our Sydney and Melbourne Fairs last year, we are delighted to bring Affordable Art Fair back to Australia... We have been overwhelmed by expressions of interest from galleries across the country," says Australian Fair Director, Stephanie Kelly Gordine. "Our visitors asked for more art and we are delivering! From Orange to Toowoomba, Surry Hills and Fitzroy, we have hand-selected an exceptional collection, with thousands of new artworks looking for happy homes.”
In Sydney on 15-18 June, and Melbourne on 31 August to 3 September, art lovers can peruse thousands of works priced under $10,000 while supporting emerging and established local artists. All you need is a ticket, a healthy appreciation for visual art and a spare wall (or three).

Tyler Dan
Globetrotter Tyler was raised in Southern California, calls coastal New South Wales home and is living in France for a year. So, it’s little wonder her vibrant and organic abstract landscapes and cityscapes capture the energy of a place and time. While Tyler’s inspired by architecture and the natural environment, she also gleans inspo from the little things — such as her six-year-old son’s painting.
Tyler’s paintings will be available exclusively through Sarah Birtles Art + Advice at the Affordable Art Fair.
