Windsor Contemporary Art Fair

Championing the most exciting artists working in the UK and Europe today, Windsor Contemporary Art Fair brings you into contact with both award-winning and emerging artists.

This year you will have the chance to meet BBC One’s winner of 'The Big Painting Challenge', Paul Bell; who will be exhibiting and available to talk about his career, and experience under the national spotlight.

Along with a wide range of award-winning and nationally recognised talent like: recipient of the Pro Arte Award (2014), the Colart Award (2012) & the Golden Award (2010) for her paintings at the NAPA National Exhibitions, Lisa Traxler; ZSL Wildlife Photographer 2014 Junior winner, Tom Way and Artist of the Year for Artists and Illustrators Magazine, Camilla Dowse.

A Heart of Glass will be bringing a new British artist, Elliot Walker, who was a finalist in the prestigious British Glass Biennale, and won the highly regarded national Craft & Design magazine award. Featured in both the International Artist Magazine and American Art Collector Magazine, Kristine Nason will be showing following a solo exhibition at The Savill Building in Windsor Great Park.

For over a decade, the artists presented by the founders, Sarah McAllister and Deborah James, have been a mixture of nationally recognized and new talent, and those who have gone on to become well known.

Drawing the attention to the unique perspectives of the artists, and dissolving the barriers between the artists and those who love art, is one of the highlights of the Windsor Contemporary Art Fair weekend.

It is the chance to get to know a celebrated artist in person, and have a direct conversation with them about their work. Many of the artists have fascinating stories to tell which often inspire their creations.

It is a chance to get to know the artist of a work you have fallen in love with, commission something unique to you in a style you have a passion for, or find something that becomes a conversation piece in your home.

Many people enjoy becoming part of an artist’s social network, or enjoy the discovery of and philanthropic support of a rising star. Being around, involved in, and living with Art is life-affirming and invigorating.

There will also be workshops run by Reading’s flagship Arts Co Op, Jelly, the famous, collectable one-off works, especially created to raise money for the Prince’s Trust, and interactive projects to add to the experience.

Once again, Windsor Contemporary Art Fair has ensured a truly national and European flavour, with artists of all media in attendance from all around the continent.
