The Affordable Art & Artisan Fair held on the last Sunday of every month at the Black Sheep Bar & Grill at Whakamarama is privileged to have as one of its organising team, Katikati artist and ARTbop contributor, Birgitt Shannon.  Birgitt has been creating a video narrative of the Fairs.   She introduces you to several of the exhibitors at each of the Fairs.    Here are three of the creative individuals and teams who were at the February 2018 Fair.

The next Fair will be on the last Sunday of March, that’s the 25th!   The Fairs are held within the Black Sheep Bar & Grill complex.  There is heaps of parking, clean toilets and wonderful food and coffee.  There’s live music.  And because we’re coming up to the season of the Easter Bunny, exhibitors at the Fair will be in the swing of things both jazz and chocolate!   We’ve got some spot prizes and look out for the creative headgear.   If you would like to join us as an exhibitor/retailer of your original creativity you can contact us at aaafair17@gmail.com

We are sign posted along SH2 with signage to the turnoff of SH2 and Plummers Point Road.  See you all on the 25th.

                                          NEXT FAIR SUNDAY 25TH MARCH 11AM TO 3PM!
