Background
In 1996 Will Ramsay opened Will’s Art Warehouse in south west London to bridge the increasing interest in contemporary art and the London gallery scene. By concentrating on relatively unknown artists not carrying a premium for reputation, the gallery was able to offer works from £50 - £2,500 from a stable of over 150 artists.  The response to Will’s Art Warehouse encouraged Will to take his approach to the next level, and in October 1999 he launched the first Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park.  Over 10,000 visitors took advantage of the ease of buying, breadth of choice, affordable prices and user-friendly approach.

Since then the Affordable Art Fair has become firmly established as an important and popular step on the art-buying ladder, making buying and collecting original art a reality for many.
