A $500 budget at the Affordable Art Fair severely limits options, requiring purchases of very small artworks that may not justify their price relative to size.
Where once there was a flat fee across the main section of the fair (£524 per sq. m in 2021), in 2024 tiers were introduced so that those who took the largest booths paid the most per square metre. Prices this year ranged from £658 per sq. m for an "XXL" stand, between 110 sq. m and 130 sq. m, down to £582 per sq. m for the smallest booths of between 30 sq. m and 50 sq. m.
