 Cambridge is about to welcome a new hidden gem to its cultural offering. Next Spring David Parr House at 186 Gwydir Street will open to the public for the first time although a lucky few have already been through the front door. David Parr worked by day as an artist painter for the local firm of F R Leach & Sons, a Cambridge firm of artist decorators and craftsmen who created interiors for William Morris and other leading figures of the Arts and Crafts movement. He would return to his ordinary terraced house, and working by candlelight, he created an extraordinary interior for his own private enjoyment.  If you do anything, do it well. Volunteer-led tours will take visitors through the front door of the David Parr House and into each room of the remarkable house as the stories of the occupants’ lives are revealed. Displays of David Parr’s notebook, diaries, painting tools, photos and family audio recordings will illuminate the day-to-day life of the largely forgotten but talented and highly skilled artisans by exploring Cambridge’s social history, domesticity, the 20th Century home, memories and reminiscence. In 1912, David Parr inscribed on his Drawing Room wall ‘If you do anything, do it well’. This sentiment has inspired the passionate private donors and dedicated volunteers who, over the past five years, have helped to save the David Parr House by conserving and restoring it, partly funded by a Heritage Lottery Grant.  We hope that all our visitors at Cambridge Art Fair 2018 enjoy visiting our stand to see objects from the house and collection on display, to meet some of the people who saved the house. To find out how to become a collections, garden, research or house guide volunteer please speak to us on the stand during the show.
With support from National Lottery players every £1 is doubled by Heritage Lottery Fund and Barclay will also match the first £1,000 donated at this year’s Cambridge Art Fair so, with Gift Aid, a Gift of £5 becomes £25, £10 becomes £50 and £50 becomes £250. That’s the kind of maths we like! The David Parr House is currently seeking special people to become founding patrons. They will be offered their own personal experiences including handling special objects from the collection, meeting special guests, invitations to curatorial events and to see behind the scenes before and after the house is open to the public. All gifts and donations go towards building a £1m endowment so that art lovers can enjoy an annual programme of exhibitions, talks, special events and craft workshops. Come along to the art fair 27-30th September at Quy Mill Hotel & Spa and find the David Parr House team on Stand F1. Tamsin Wimhurst, Chair of the Trustees of David Parr House will be delivering a FREE talk about the history and the future of this fascinating project on Friday 28th September at 4pm in the Wine Bar. At 5pm, straight after Tamsin's talk, there will be an Auction of Experiences to raise money for the project. This will also take place in the Wine Bar and all are welcome to attend.

The marquee is over 1,000 square metres in size and is heated/air-conditioned with solid sides and extensive glazed panel areas.

The two events together will bring the worlds of fine art, homes & interiors, property & luxury lifestyle, along with fabulous artisanal food & drink by independent, local producers. The Cambridge Roar marquee is large enough to accommodate both Cambridge Art Fair & Inspire Cambridge simultaneously, with a shared coffee lounge & wine bar area at the centre of the marquee, creating a physical separation between the two events. Inspire Cambridge is part of a series of new events that will be rolled out across the UK in the next few years. Inspire Shows focus on the high-quality, innovative and independent businesses in the home interest sector.

Craig Kerrecoe, Managing Director of Red Dot Events Limited, the organisers of Cambridge Art Fair, said- “We are very pleased to be working with Paul and the team at Cambridge Champagne Company again for 2017.

We look forward to hearing what our visitors think of their fabulous Champagne.” Dominique Boulard’s family have been tending their vines for over 200 years. Every grape is picked by hand, so neither fruit nor vine is damaged. Each of the three classic champagne grape varieties are grown on Boulard family land. His vines grow on a perfect south-facing slope of the Vallée de la Marne, in the Grand Cru village of Mailly, and in a hamlet called – aptly – Paradis. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by the prestigious wine guides Hachette des Vins and Gault & Millau. Indeed Dominique’s champagnes have beaten in blind tests many of the more famous brand names. The Champagne Bar will be in the Large Hall, between the doors through to the Small Hall, right the very centre of fair.

"For those few days every year, we have the UK art industry at our disposal. It’s a tremendous resource and a very reassuring way of buying original art." One of the things that makes Cambridge Art Fair such a valuable event for the region is the fact that so many dealers and galleries from around the UK and sometimes further afield, converge upon Cambridge for a few days every year.

For those few days every year, we have the UK art industry at our disposal. It’s a tremendous resource and a very reassuring way of buying original art. Expertise, quality, masterpieces- these are all words that resonate with BMW. This is why it was an easy decision for Elms BMW Cambridge to affiliate itself with the event.

Community. Culture. Commerce. Thank you so much for supporting the 4th edition of Cambridge Art Fair, proudly sponsored by Elms Cambridge BMW. As an attendee you will become a vital part of a process that contributes significantly to the local, regional and national economy, supporting hard-working independent businesses and the careers of talented artists. If you have been to the fair before, you will already know that this event supports independent galleries and art dealers from all over the UK and beyond by giving them opportunities to showcase their portfolios to buyers of art in the eastern region. This, in turn, supports the careers of all of the independent artists that they represent. Cambridge Art Fair also creates a high quality marketplace for buyers of art in the region, meaning that they don’t have to travel to one of the London art fairs in order to source the best work available- we have always worked hard to bring the best galleries and dealers to Cambridge and this year is no exception. This beautiful city is not some far flung suburb of London and it warrants, in fact it deserves it’s own cultural offering and identity. We are proud to be working with our many sponsors and partners to bring the best of the art industry to the region for one weekend each year. The event also supports the local economy by generating thousands of visits to the city centre across the four day event, many of whom patronise the surrounding shops, cafes and restaurants during their visit. The commercial sector in the region recognises the value of the event now: we are proudly supported by several high-quality businesses, meeting our goal of creating a bridge between commerce and culture, to the benefit of all involved. Our thanks go to all of the wonderful businesses that have supported the event this year- Elms Cambridge, Mattioli Woods, Cambridge Live, Cambridge News, Cambridge Magazine, Hotel Du Vin, Cambridge Champagne, Puddini Caterers, Parrot Print, Cambridge Plants, Activ Canvas, Go Vocal Media, Cambridge TV, Majestic Wine, Local Secrets, The British Shop, Independent Cambridge, Connection Seating, Mama Bombon and our Charity Partner Addenbrookes Charitable Trust.

We are extremely pleased to announce that The Fry Art Gallery will be participating at Cambridge Art Fair this year, showing a selection of works from it's collection of modern art.
The Fry Public Art Gallery was opened in 1987 and houses an impressive number of paintings, prints, illustrations, wallpapers and decorative designs by artists of the 20th century and the present day who have local connections and have made a significant contribution to their field. There is an emphasis on those who for a variety of reasons settled in Great Bardfield between the early thirties of the last century and the death in 1983 of John Aldridge RA who had lived in the village for fifty years. Edward Bawden RA who, with his friend Eric Ravilious, discovered Bardfield a year before the arrival of Aldridge and dominated the scene for almost four decades, is represented by nearly 600 items. The Gallery has also acquired work by Ravilious and his wife Tirzah Garwood, and by those other artists who came to the village during the second world war - Michael Rothenstein RA, and his wife Duffy (now Duffy Ayers), Kenneth Rowntree, & George Chapman. The collection also includes prints and paintings by Bawden's son Richard, and examples of the very varied work of artists who made their way to Bardfield in the 1950s - Marianne Straub, Audrey Cruddas, Sheila Robinson, Bernard Cheese and Walter Hoyle. The Gallery was built in 1856 to house the collection of Francis Gibson, a local Quaker businessman, and the building passed by descent to the Fry family, who lease it to the Fry Art Gallery Society. The Fry Art Gallery will be on the stage on Stand E1b. Click here to visit their website
