There certainly is! Come see our kid zone, with 4 free family activities to look forward to as well as the food market and live performances, with Miss H as the headline performance at 4:00pm. We will also be screening Namibian films for free in the indoor gallery. Food and snacks for the kids will be available as well.

Are there any other activities?
From art workshops to Musical panel discussions, there's plenty to see and do.

How long should I spend at the Art Fair?
As long as you wish! We recommend that it takes 2 hours to explore the whole of the Art Fair (don't worry, that includes a tea break too!). Don't have much time? Take a look at the exhibiting artists, circle your favourites and visit them. A member of staff can point you in the right direction, if you need a hand.

Is there food and drink available at the Art Fair?
Yes, we have a variety of food vendors, offering both local and international cuisines. 

I'm in a wheelchair, will I be able to see the exhibits?
Yes, of course. There is wheelchair-friendly access to both the indoor and outdoor galleries, so there's plenty to see. 

Can I pay by card at the Art Fair?
Unfortunately no, please bring cash! We will be offering use of the PayToday app for any of your art purchases, however food vendors will only be accepting cash. 

How can I support the Art Fair?
As an up and coming art fair, we are very grateful for any support we receive. There will be a donation station available at the payment booth. Recommended donation is N$50, which will go a long way to helping fund the show and supporting our artists.
