The Art Fair at the RDS last weekend attracted great numbers and despite the recession, people are still buying art. I have been exhibiting at this exhibition for a number of years and there was a great atmosphere at this event. From talking to people, I've found that the feedback is that a lot of the general public feel a bit apprehensive or intimitated walking into art galleries, so this Art Fair provided a perfect enviorment and atmosphere to view a wide range of art. It was definetaly a deadly weekend at the RDS!
