The People’s Art Fair (PAF) is a collaborative group exhibition devised and hosted by the PRSC and open to all artists. The fair follows the principal that together we are greater than the sum of our parts, and demonstrates that bringing together artists involved in individual creative practice produces something unique and special.

Embodying the ethos of collective action, the artists help to hang, manage and promote the show together. We want to break down barriers to the art world and challenge the elitism and sense of exclusivity that pervades many gallery shows. PAF attempts to level the playing field with no entry fee (for artists or visitors) and an open invitation to everyone to take part, offering a platform to all the talented people out there no matter their medium.

Participating artists include:

Adam Roe, Alex Cadle, Amy Loizou , Amy Vans, Beautiful Things in Foreign Lands, Bev Milward, Billie Brown, Cereal Box City, CRACKBABY, Criminal Mind, Dan Petley, Extempore Art, FYONAFINN, GC, Greenbank Pottery, Helen Povey, Jacob Moon, JAMIE PETT, Jasmine Collings, Kat Martin, Katie Fishlock, Keep StuM, Kerry Day Arts, Lisa Travers, Mandi Collingridge, Mark Povey, Marta Zubieta, Martha Makes It, Matti, Max Middlewood, Mez, Mike Stuart, Mr Sleven, Natasha Watson, Object…, Octopus Odyssey, Pablo Da Loca, Paulo Da Silveira, Phil Constable, Ramona Eve, Rocio E Bucheli, Sonic, Stokes Croft Land Trust, TG Freeson, The Cat Came Back, Toby Lennox-Hilton, TropicaLala, TwoBirds Art, Wistful Horizons, and Zlyzab.
