Regional Arts Victoria Creative Otways - Arts Trail
When it comes to collecting affordable art, a new micro-trend is emerging in Australia: buyers are discovering artists in places well beyond a commercial gallery.
The Sydney Royal Easter Show is fast becoming the place to find new Australian artists, helping emerging makers to find homes for their work.
The show is giving commercial galleries a quiet run for their money, bringing with it a more democratic approach to collecting art.
Tucked in the arts and crafts pavilion of the show is a pop-up where artists engage with a clientele they might not have the chance to interact with in a traditional gallery.
For budding collectors, it's pitched as less intimidating than walking into an art gallery, the show curating a diverse mix of artists across all mediums from painting to ceramics and sculptural works.
