Without art collections, how would we understand our cultural roots and trace its development to
the present?
While viewing great institutional collections of art by historic figures is educational and
inspirational, personally collecting artwork made by a contemporary artist in his/her formative
stage is infinitely more exciting and rewarding. In this annual gathering of highly collectible
artworks by over 100 emerging contemporary artists, Contemporary Art Projects invites you to

Educated at top international art colleges, many have won prestigious art prizes, and all form part
of the contemporary art matrix. This exhibition is an excellent opportunity to survey current
thought and new trends and see early stage development of a number of interesting, up-andcoming
artists.
The exhibition takes the form of a dynamic mini-Art Fair and includes painting, watercolours,
drawings, photographs and sculptures. To aid collectors in starting or extending their private
collections of contemporary art, all artworks are priced up to £200 (framing may be extra).
Gallery opening hours will be extended to 12 – 8 pm daily, including weekends, throughout the
exhibition. Works will be displayed on a rotating basis, and may be collected from the gallery at
the time of purchase. We will have an entire list of available works along with artist bios in the
gallery and on the comment website http://www.commentart.com. Please contact us for images of
works or other information.
