DUBBO ART FAIR RETURNS IN 2024
Diverse works of art by regional artists will be on show at the fourth annual Dubbo Art Fair at the Western Plains Cultural Centre from 21 - 22 September 2024.
Over 40 regional artists will display their works in the gallery space next month to showcase and sell their art. The event is now in its fourth year and has already established itself as the most significant art fair west of the Blue Mountains.
“The Dubbo Art Fair is a great opportunity to purchase an original artwork for your home or office that has been created by a local artist,” Dubbo Regional Council Curator, Kent Buchanan said.
“An original artwork is a great conversation starter and what better way to find out the story behind the work than to speak directly with the creator at the Art Fair.”
The Dubbo Art Fair is a platform for local artists to gain exposure for their work and interact with the community to give people an insight into their creative process.
“The response from artists has been overwhelmingly positive. Spaces for this year’s Dubbo Art Fair filled very fast, with artists eager for the opportunity to sell their art.”
“Each year the event has continued to grow, and we are looking forward to creating an even bigger and better Dubbo Art Fair this year.”
In 2023, the event attracted over 1,800 people across the weekend and artists collectively sold over $43,000 worth of art.
“We are really looking forward to welcoming the community into the Western Plains Cultural Centre and seeing the diverse range of works on display from the many talented artists in our region,” Mr Buchanan said.
The Dubbo Art Fair is supported by Dubbo Regional Council and is an initiative of the Council’s SPARC Cultural Plan. Dubbo Art Fair is also supported through funding from Create NSW.
The official opening for the Dubbo Art Fair will take place on Friday 20 September at 6pm. With the event open to the community from 10am – 4pm on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 September 2024, admission is free.
