How to buy art: A guide for first-time buyers
Have you ever gone to an art gallery and fallen in love with a piece, only to find out that it's way out of your budget? Or maybe you've been dying to start your own art collection, but don't know where to begin. If you're a first-time buyer looking to add some artwork to your life, this guide is for you. Here, we'll walk you through the basics of how to buy art, from finding the right piece to flexible ways of paying with The Holy Art Fair. So whether you're in the market for a painting, sculpture, or photography, read on for our tips on how to bring your art dreams to life.
Before you start shopping for artwork, it's important to get a sense of the type of art that appeals to you. Spend time browsing our artist websites, booths at the fair, and even Instagram accounts to explore different styles and mediums. Take note of what catches your eye, and consider what kind of atmosphere you're creating in your home. Do you prefer abstract art? Or something more realistic? Are vibrant colours important to you? Think about how the artwork will flow with the rest of your décor and lifestyle.
Once you've narrowed down the type of art you want, it's time to start shopping. You can buy art directly from the artist in person at an exhibition like The Holy Art Fair. When visiting our art fair, take advantage of any free consultations offered by our team and the fact that you can meet hundreds of artists in one place!
When you're in the Artist's booth, be sure to ask questions about their process and any details that might not be visible. This will help you make an informed decision on your purchase.
When it comes to payment, there are plenty of options available depending on your budget. The Holy Art Fair offers a variety of flexible payment plans such as instalment plans (Klarna & ClearPay) so you can spread out payments over time instead of buying all at once. We also all accept credit cards!
Finally, don't forget about maintenance! Quality artwork will last for years if it's taken care of properly, so make sure you follow the artist's instructions for cleaning & framing!
