Celebrate the arrival of Spring at the Landmark Spring Art Fair 2026; part of the Landmark Arts Centre's long-standing programme of artist led fairs.

Running from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th May, the Spring Art Fair is one of several much loved fairs presented at the Landmark each year. Alongside our Autumn Art Fair in October, the festive Sparkle Fair in November, and our specialist biannual events Paper Ink Print and the expanded Contemporary Textiles Festival Material Encounter: Contemporary Textiles in Focus (March 2026), these fairs have built a strong reputation over many years for quality, diversity and direct access to artists.

This spring edition brings together independent artists presenting fresh, original work across painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, ceramics, mixed media and graphic art. Expect a bright and uplifting showcase of colour, texture and ideas; from striking statement pieces to smaller, affordable works, typically priced between £100 and £1,000.

All work is sold directly by the artists, offering a rare opportunity to meet the makers and learn more about their practice. Artists travel from the local area and beyond, creating a lively and welcoming fair that rewards browsing, conversation and discovery.
