A fantastic opportunity to buy work commission free for one day only on Saturday 25th June 10am – 4pm! All are welcome to the Preview of Artfordable on Friday 24th June 4 – 6pm

"Why do people collect? The truth of the matter is that for many it is a party, and everyone loves a party... for others it is a new business venture... and for some it is a lifelong, serious endeavour. But whatever the reason, art collecting is fun, invigorating, exhilarating and mind expanding." Thea Westreich, Art Advisor, New York (from "Owning Art: The Contemporary Art Collector's Handbook" by Louisa Buck and Judith Greer)
