From Thursday 28 to Sunday 31 August 2025, the fifth Affordable Art Fair returns to Melbourne with its largest celebration of art to date. While art fairs can sometimes seem intimidating or unwelcoming to anyone who’s not a well-heeled art collector or arts industry insider, contemporary art can also be – and is – inspiring and uplifting.
Another art world truism is that you don’t actually have to be rich to be able to buy original pieces of art, despite the eye-watering price tags you sometimes hear or read about in the media.
