We are a dedicated, experienced team based in the North of England. For over twenty years we have been delivering exhibitions and events in the areas we are hugely passionate about, culture and hospitality. When we launched Manchester Art Fair (MAF) over twelve years ago, we set out to do something different, to create a more inclusive and supportive event for our exhibitors and to develop a sense of community for the art collectors of the North.
"The Fair continues to be a genuine counterweight to London – and a real part of the art world ecology outside the capital"

“I am really impressed with how Manchester’s art scene has developed in recent years. There is no shortage of potential art buyers in the region, and the fair is vital to inspire and develop a significant audience of collectors.”

Great buzz at this weekend’s Manchester Art Fair. So many lovely customers and sales were a-plenty.

People were really willing to engage with my work and there was a good atmosphere across the whole fair which had both a stylish and accessible feel about it. I’m very much looking forward to exhibiting again next year.

MAF is the best art fair I have exhibited at for many years. Amazing turn out and engaging public. Fantastic sales and commissions. I’ll be busy fulfilling my orders for many months.

As a gallery it was a joy to be surrounded by so many people who loved art. The fair had a fabulous energy and it was so busy!
