Lancaster Art Fair Expands into City Wide Celebration Through Collaborative Artist Effort
Three passionate Lancaster based freelance artists, Hannah Corbett, Lidia Ranns, and Julie Evans, are uniting their creative forces to transform the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression with the expanded Lancaster Art Fair (LAF), running from August 19th to 23rd, 2025.
This year, LAF is evolving into a larger, city wide festival, thanks to their dedicated collaboration and partnerships with established local arts organisations.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.

In less than twenty-four hours, the calendar flips to 2025, ushering in a fresh year of creative potential for artists, collectors, dealers, and institutions alike. The most anticipated museum exhibitions of 2025 are already taking shape, promising new thrills and revelations. Gallerists, meanwhile, are savoring a brief respite between the high-octane frenzy of Miami Art Week and Art Basel Miami Beach and the whirlwind of shows yet to come. And after cryptocurrency mogul Justin Sun’s infamous purchase—and consumption—of Maurizio Cattelan’s $6.2 million Comedian, everyone’s bracing for the next wave of art market absurdities.
The January art fair calendar wastes no time getting started. There’s Este Arte kicking off in Uruguay just days after New Year’s, and then we head off to Singapore for Art SG and S.E.A. Focus (which coincide with Singapore Art Week). Next up, art fairs in London and then Palm Beach and New York before everyone heads back to the continent for several European art fairs. For the truly dedicated art enthusiast, this month’s fairs demand a certain degree of wanderlust—continent-hopping included—but the rewards are bound to be worth the miles. Here’s what’s on:
