PAF is a ten day long cultural festival providing a platform for visual artists, poets, musicians and workshop leaders to show off their talents. PAF is kept free for artists to take part in, and all ticketed events apply the principle ‘no one turned away through lack of funds’.  PAF is a natural extension of our work to break down barriers and increase inclusion and voice, and is a direct challenge to the exclusionary idea that ‘real art’ is exclusive and only created by, and relevant to a small cultured, wealthy elite. PAF promotes creative cultural practice as an essential tool for people to challenge or highlight social injustice and to galvanise change.

The People’s Art Fair mixes up the work by professional artists, graffiti writers, homeless people, young people, refugees, and everyone else who wants to join in and does not disclose the individual backgrounds of our exhibitors. The core principle that underlies PAF is that together we are greater than the sum or our parts, and exhibitors are expected to help with the installation, promotion and management of the exhibition. All of us benefit from the inclusion of one another.

Throughout the fair we collaborate with local social-minded creatives to offer workshops; a poetry open mic; and a music jam session, inviting everyone to share and celebrate their talents during the fair. The net result is a visually diverse and culturally rich event featuring hundreds of artworks from over 70 artists; and the emergence of a confident, mutually supportive creative community that is joyful to be part of.
