By creating a platform for buyers to browse and buy artworks at accessible pricepoints, the annual Affordable Art Fair challenges the assumption that the art world has to be intimidating and expensive. This time it’s taking place at the Royal Exhibition Building where Melbournians can shop thousands of artworks from emerging and established artists, priced between $100 and $10,000. Plus, a new 70s inspired outpost for one of Melbourne's most talked-about ice-cream shops.
