This first Lancaster Art Fair was conceived to be a celebration of Art in Lancaster. We called upon a selection of independent artists to take part, regardless of experience, subject matter or media. First time exhibitors were strongly encouraged and many of our professional artists have taken the opportunity and theme ‘fledgling’ to try something new or explore the unknown…

 LAF is intended to be a fun, interactive event for the people of Lancaster, where our community can come together, connect with each other and create! We want to make a vibrant, inclusive and exciting cultural event that can grow year on year, supporting local artists and creators right here in Lancaster.

 Please come down and check us out, see the work from our 16 brilliant artists, shop, create, chat and take part by adding to our art pin up wall!

 ‘This event grew organically, snowballing from a little idea – reaching out to a few fellow artists to see if anyone would be interested in doing a group exhibition – to a much bigger idea of creating the kind of event I felt Lancaster had been missing – something fun for all ages to get involved with and a place to shout about some of the great artists we have in the area.’
