Affordable Art Fair is returning to Boston from October 22-25 at the SoWa Power Station in Boston’s Historic South End neighborhood!
Focused on making works from living artists accessible and affordable for collectors, families, and art enthusiasts, 58 local and international galleries and art collectives will bring thousands of artworks to the weekend-long event, all priced between $100 to $12,000.
The Fair offers a vibrant experience featuring local eats available for purchase from Flour Bakery + Cafe, an exhibition showcasing local artists developed in partnership with ShowUp, a Boston-based gallery promoting underrepresented voices, and free collection and purchase advising from art_works. On Sunday, the Fair will host Family Hours, offering kid-friendly activities including story-time, coloring and games by Clover Clubhouse and an early Halloween Trick-or-Treat around the Fair.
