Most artists know the Affordable Art Fair exists. What it's actually like to be there as an artist, on the floor, in the booth, talking to strangers about your work for four days straight, is a different story. Georgia Huestis is the Fair Director of the Affordable Art Fair in Australia, with Fairs in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and she was so generous with information this week in our chat. In this conversation we get into the mechanics of how the fair actually works for artists, be it with a gallery, the collective model, the Young Talent program for unrepresented artists under 35. We chatted about the sort of support the fair offers around selling, hanging, and getting your booth to land. Georgia is refreshingly practical about what a slow day means, what a first fair is supposed to feel like, and why bringing someone in as your support person might be one of the best decisions you make. you can find Georgia on instagram here Plus find the Affordable Art Fair Australia here on Instagram and their website here The Melbourne Affordable Art fair is on soon- August 27-30 SYDNEY: 5-8 November BRISBANE: May 2027 Links • Affordable Art Fair Australia • Georgia Huestis • Alice Palmer • Rich & Strange Gallery • Angela Moritz • Vandal ltd • Rachel Rush • Diego Faivre • Claudio Kirac • Anna Price You can find the podcast here on Instagram & here on substack Thanks so much for listening!
