I had the greatest of pleasures yesterday. I joined a merry band of dealers, exhibiting their wares, amidst the delightful surroundings of Gloucestershire.
The effervescent dealer Jo Eveleigh, from MastheadArt.co.uk, along with Gloucestershire based art dealer Mary Keane, hosted a one day art sale that was neatly titled, “Art for a Day“.
It really was a day for everyone – art, in all shapes and sizes, was on sale with prices ranging from just £5 to £695. Surely, something there for everyone? I think so!
Here’s a little snap to capture the mood of the room!
Art fairs happen most days of the week, across the world. But, in this humble little room, held at the Bear of Rodborough Hotel near Minchinhampton, something quite special was happening… people were really enjoying looking at the pictures on show and buying them too!
There was literally everything from an 18th century Dutch Still Life oil on panel, through to very much alive contemporary artists selling their freshly painted canvas’s.
It felt relaxed, calm and enjoyable. There was no sales pressure - first time buyers felt relaxed alongside seasoned collectors. It was how buying art should be – fun, relaxing and for everyone! Plus, the hotel bar provided a rather delicious distraction at half time 
Well done Jo and Mary for organising such a great day out for everyone. It is very much hoped for a repeat performance before Christmas – so if you are looking for a unique pressie – “Art for a Day” should be the perfect place to find it!
