Art & female buying power

London freebie the Stylist recently (3/3/10) declared that women are looking for more socially conscious ways to invest cash and that art could be the answer.


'..(post-recession) we're looking for more responsible ways to part with our cash. Something with longevity and an ethical background - an investment with soul... A well-chosen piece over the fireplace says you're intelligent, cultured and making investment choices based on your own tastes.'

They comment on the rise in gallery visitor numbers. And galleries being the coolest places to hang out because they're 'budget-friendly, emotionally enriching, culturally stimulating and aesthetically unrivalled'. Hooray, art and craft appreciation is on the rise.

This week sees the Affordable Art Fair in London's Battersea Park where you can browse work from over 120 galleries. All art is under £3,000 but there's a lot in the £50 bracket.

The kind people at Stylist even gave some top tips on art collecting and two for one entry. Magic.

Art isn't just to be bought on holiday! See you there :)
