TESTIMONIALS

  • If you are looking for guidance in the art world, I can't recommend Fairground Advisory enough!

    Chicago based private collector

  • My husband and I are new to art collecting, which seemed rather daunting initially, but Fairground made the whole process so enjoyable! Determining our taste from established artists and artworks we love, they then introduced us to up and coming artists in our price range. They handled everything from negotiating the sale, delivery and installation. Plus, it's been really exciting going to smaller galleries to see new works and discover the next generation of artists. Can't recommend them highly enough!
