Artists descend on Portimão Arena for major art fair
Art Expo Algarve is back, and better than ever, between September 27-29
Since the dawn of humanity, there has been art. Something drives the human spirit to create images that reflect ourselves and life around us.
We strive to use our gift of imagination to shape the world. In ancient times, as today, there was painting, sculpture, music, dance, and theatre. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Moors, and many other civilizations contributed indelible artistry to the amalgam of the visual world. These expressions of the human spirit were created by individuals, in person, live, and one at a time. Today, we have mass distribution with so much online media like Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, Netflix; need I go on? Images are instantly consumed worldwide. In fact, we are so inundated with media, images are literally flashing in front of us at the speed of light. Hey, we don’t really need artists anymore, because artificial intelligence can manufacture “art” without human interference. Andy Warhol once claimed, “Art is what you can get away with.” Well, are we lost in a world where art is arbitrary and random, without soul or beauty?

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.
