160+ exhibitors at Newbury Racecourse art fair this weekend

Contemporary Art Fairs at Newbury Racecourse this weekend gives art lovers and artists the chance to meet face to face, browse, talk and buy.

More than 160 artists will be exhibiting – painters, printmakers, photographers, sculptors, ceramicists and galleries. The artwork will suit most pockets, ranging from £40 to £4,000.

There will also be workshops, painting demonstrations, interactive art, children’s art quest, wine and gin tasting..

Allow several hours to appreciate all there is to see – many visitors make it a full day and a licensed restaurant is on hand.
