“Due to Covid-19 and lockdown safety precautions across the country, a physical fair is not possible. But a fair is most definitely required to offer support and a platform for galleries and artists alike,” says Glynis Hyslop, Founder of RMB TAF.

The virtual RMB TAF will take place from 27th (VIP Preview) August – 2 September 2020. An online fair gives galleries a chance to exhibit work of selected artists, and provide a platform to showcase their brands and capitialise on the extensive marketing opportunities RMB TAF offers. A virtual fair also enables galleries and artists to harness a national, and possibly an international, audience.

Each gallery will have a dedicated virtual booth where they will display their artworks with interactive messaging, behind the scenes profiling of artists, and video. Vistors to the online RMB TAF will be able to search artist, exhibitor, or medium.
“The public has embraced the ethos of RMB TAF and over the years have built a long-standing, trusted relationship with the fair, which provides a safe and curated space in which to buy art,” says Hyslop.
