Opportunity
The Impact Art Fair is the UK’s first national art fair showcasing work exclusively by artists who have experienced mental health issues, disability, ill health or other socially excluding circumstances. The second Impact Art Fair will open in London from the 26-28 July 2013 at Block 336, Brixton. The deadline for entries is 23 April 2013 and submissions are welcome from outside the UK.
Full of talent but lacking access and opportunities, the Impact Art Fair gives artists the chance to sell their work and to be valued by wider society. In 2011, 1000 visitors attended the fair and most artists were able to report at least one sale.
