Dundee Art Fair
24 July 2019
Late May saw the inaugural Dundee Art Fair take place at the iconic Caird Hall with more than 40 exhibitors in attendance - and Larson-Juhl was delighted to sponsor the event.
The aim was to make art accessible to all and there was work on sale worth between £50 and £3,000 with visitors having the chance to meet the artists behind the creations.
Apart from some stunning paintings, there was an eclectic range of glassware, furniture and sculptures. There was also a kids’ corner for youngsters to take part in an art activity.
Mark Gask, one of the organisers, who owns Gallery i in Aberdeenshire, said: “The fair has been well received and there was a real buzz about it.
“It was a great opportunity for artists, not only to sell their work, but to get feedback on it and to meet other artists at the same time. Dundee is a great spot for an art fair. We’ve felt for many years that this was something the city was missing, so we’re excited to have organised the first one.”
Area sales manager for Scotland and the North, Barry McLean, was there from Larson-Juhl and loved it! He says: “It was fantastic to spend some time with the Gallery i team and to meet up with some of our customers. I especially enjoyed seeing the different styles of art and chatting to some of the artists.
“It was also nice talking with visitors about their artistic skills and their favourite types of art and I even got to discuss Larson-Juhl products and the service we offer!”
