About the Event

The CONTEMPORARY ARTS FESTIVAL DISCOVER: GATHER: GIVE is an exciting, lively and eclectic gem of an arts festival.  We have gathered together the very best artisanal work where every piece is produced by the artists.

It is an opportunity to:

Discover inspiring, challenging, calming, emotional, evolving artwork to make you look again

Gather together works to buy on the day or commission directly from the attending artists

Give, donate, collect, curate with simple pleasure for your clients, yourself and your passion

Everything has changed in the art world and so has #Cafdgg

In November 2020 I put on a #VirtualCafdgg by setting up a YouTube Channel Discover Gather Give Arts Fair https://bit.ly/35QHRNh with over eighty artists videos  from our fab artists and it was a huge success with over a hundred subscribers and 7.1k views and counting and in May I put up #MakeMerryinJune –  an evergreen delight!

It is still up so follow the tag #virtualcafdgg or go to https://bit.ly/35QHRNh

The CONTEMPORARY ARTS FAIR DISCOVER: GATHER: GIVE for 2021 will be held over November 5th for our very social Private View and November 6th to 7th Open to all at Stratford-upon-Avon’s historic Town Hall.

As a visitor to our November Fair you will have the luxury of two opportunities to buy – the first is on the day where you can discover the interesting and inspiring artists, then gather beautiful pieces together to buy immediately; the second is commissioning unique and inspiring gifts from the attending artists, especially from our November CONTEMPORARY ARTS FAIR DISCOVER: GATHER: GIVE in perfect time for Christmas.

By holding the November event early in the Christmas season, it allows sufficient time for commissions to be completed ready to be given with simple pleasure at Christmas or whenever you want…

Café

There will be the glorious  Golden Cup Café selling tea, Monsoon Estates coffee, delicious homemade cakes for you to relax in and ponder over which beautiful and inspiring pieces of work to buy – and for whom!
