People’s Republic of Stokes Croft are running an amazing art fair from this weekend

Posted on: 29 Mar 2023

The People’s Art Fair, which begins this weekend, sees a wide range of local creatives descending on PRSC to put on a fabulous show with something for everyone, no matter what your taste.

 

The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft’s People’s Art Fair runs from Friday 31 March until Sunday 9 April 2023.

 

Running for ten days, The People’s Art Fair (PAF) is an open group exhibition curated by the PRSC. Acting as a celebration of culture and expressive art, the PAF is open to artists, makers, photographers, painters, sculptors and creatives of all shapes and flavours.

 

This is a FREE ENTRY event, find out more on the PRSC website.

 

 

Tomorrow (Thursday 30 March) will see a special opening night party, giving visitors the opportunity to be among the first to see the amazing work on show and also find their inner artist with some fun and easy activities – there will also be drinks available and live music from Brainbeau

 

The People’s Art Fair is a radical cultural festival providing a platform for visual artists, poets, musicians and workshop leaders to demonstrate their talents. The fair is free for artists to take part in and all PRSC events follow the principle: ‘no one turned away through lack of funds’.

 

PAF aims to break down barriers and increase inclusion and voice, challenging the idea that ‘real art’ is exclusive and exclusive to a wealthy elite. The event highlights creative cultural practice as a tool for challenging and highlighting social injustice and galvanising change.

 

Throughout the fair, PRSC will be collaborating with local social-minded creatives to offer a range of events including a radical poetry open mic, a music jam session, an art club, workshops and more, inviting visitors to take part and celebrate their talents.

 

The result will be a visually diverse and culturally rich event that will feature hundreds of artworks from over 70 artists, from professional artists to graffiti writers, homeless people to young people, refugees, and anyone else. Discover the full lineup here.

The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft’s People’s Art Fair runs from Friday 31 March until Sunday 9 April 2023. This is a FREE ENTRY event, find out more on the PRSC website.
