Clifton School of Arts members and volunteers are gearing up for the first ever CSA Contemporary Art Fair.

Curated by David Roach and Vyvian Wilson, the Art Fair’s theme is “On the Other Side”. The idea was initially developed to support local artists during last year’s multiple Covid lockdowns. While some artists found the isolation extremely challenging, others saw it as a time to reflect. Painter Ashley Frost said it gave him space to experiment without the pressure of exhibiting.

Showcasing some of the finest (and most collectable) artists of our region, the 2022 Clifton Contemporary Art Fair is a fundraising event with a percentage of all sales going towards the CSA’s building project. The plans will mean that for the first time in 110 years the CSA will have accessible parking, wheelchair access and facilities for all members of our community.
