From Nov 7 to 10, the F1 Pit Building will once again come alive as the Affordable Art Fair (AFF) returns, continuing its mission to make art accessible to everyone and celebrating its enduring influence on the global and local art scenes.
This year marks two significant milestones for the fair as it celebrates the 25th global anniversary and the15th anniversary in Singapore. Since its inception in 2010, the fair has hosted over 1,200 galleries, welcomed over 215,000 visitors, and facilitated art sales of nearly 20,000 pieces of contemporary art totalling over $56.5 million.
As expected, there is something for everyone – from seasoned collectors to those new to the world of art. AFF 2024 will feature 83 galleries, including 19 new participants for a fresh selection of affordable artworks. About 75 percent of artworks are priced under S$7,500 and all pieces capped at $15,000.
Look forward to returning local galleries such as White Space Contemporary, Bruno Gallery, Wasuka Art Gallery, Art Forum and artcommune gallery. They will showcase artists Andry Boy, David Gerstein, Ong Xing Ru, Tung Yue Nang, Ho Sou Ping, alongside new local gallery Intersections Gallery showing Gilles Massot. International galleries include Alessandro Berni Gallery (US), Lime Tree Gallery (UK), and Gallery Jeeum (Hong Kong). New curated exhibitions like the #Spotlight section, will showcase artists who have been with the fair since its inception, highlighting the evolution of their work over the years.
The fair also offers educational and hands-on art activities designed to deepen visitors’ connection to the art world. There are immersive experiences and engaging workshops by Objectifs Centre for Photography and film; Arty-Licious Evening, an extended evening view with special experiences that supports the Caregiving Welfare Association; dynamic art installations, and live artist performances. Kids are not left out as there are children’s activities by Art Wonderland and Republic Polytechnic.
