The Upmarket Art Fair, centered in the heart of Perth, is an exclusive and vibrant showcase that serves to connect Western Australia's art creators with enthusiasts, collectors, interior designers, and decorators. Hosted within the grandeur of the University of Western Australia's Winthrop Hall, this event brings together over 60 of Perth's most talented artists, their works ranging from original masterpieces to limited edition prints, all valued at $100 and above.
The benefits of participating in this upscale art fair extend well beyond the pleasure of exhibiting one's work. As an artist, your participation provides you a unique platform to reach a wide and diverse audience, attracting individuals who are passionate about the arts and ready to invest in high-quality pieces. It enables you to engage with those who truly understand and appreciate the value of your art, giving you the chance to enhance your reach and grow your collector base.
But at the Upmarket Art Fair, we offer more than just a venue. Our stall fees cover a plethora of services tailor-made to augment your experience and success. The Fair's dedicated marketing team operates vigorously behind the scenes to ensure your art garners the attention it merits. Working in synergy with The PR Collaborative, a renowned Perth-based public relations firm, we aim to heighten your visibility, increase your influence and help you make a notable impact within the art community.
This extraordinary event is an excellent opportunity for artists to not only showcase their work but also to elevate their brand, network with fellow artists and enthusiasts, and ultimately, broaden the market for their creative practice. The Upmarket Art Fair is not just an exhibition; it's an experience — an investment into your artistic journey that promises substantial returns. You bring your passion and creativity; we provide the platform and tools to help you succeed. Together, we make the art world a richer place.
We strive to offer you a complete, worry-free retail experience so you can focus on what you do best - creating incredible art. Some of the inclusions our stallholder fee include:
Each year we provide the option to hire display boards, hooks, wires and lights as part of your participation in Upmarket Art Fair. We hire these directly from Barrett Exhibition Group who install the display boards and lights ahead of the event. Our fantastic events team then puts together all the wires and hooks together and has them waiting at your space for your arrival ready for your install.
Display boards, hooks, wires and lights are not included as part of your stall fee, but are
an optional extra that you can book ahead of the event.
Why is this not included? Not all of the artists who participate in the event have a
need for this equipment and so we choose not to include this in the fees to book a space at
the event.
Do you have to use the display boards? No – absolutely not. You are more than welcome to use your own system. In the past we have had some artists who build their own display systems that they use during the event.
