Creative Debuts

The Anti Art Fair : Zine Fair was a three-day event bringing together independent publishers and artists to show off, promote, share, and sell their creative wares. The fair included 30 stalls featuring the work of local and national zine makers.
This collaboration was in association with The Other Box, an award-winning platform showcasing and championing people of colour, and people from other underrepresented backgrounds across the U.K.

Paper, Wine, Scissors! Art Class by Dark Yellow Dot
Analogue collage is the process of disturbing paper images by cutting them up and rearranging the shapes to create a new picture. It's a fun opportunity for you to let your mind go and your imagination run wild, and have take-home evidence of how weird it can really get. There will be a variety of papers to use. All equipment will be provided, along with guidance and prompts from the art instructor.

What a fantastic write up of The Anti Art Fair. Get yourself a cuppa and enjoy! Thank you Chloe!

What an absolutely insane week we have had! We just want to say a monumental thank you to everyone that made The Anti Art Fair possible.
Each of the artists that exhibited, to those who travelled across the world to be part of it. To every one of you that bought a ticket, shared the flyer, tagged us in a photo, The Other Box, Art Placebo, Sub-Line, Elijah Wheat Showroom, Ian + Helen at Copeland Park, Peckham Springs, The Bussey Building, Femme Culture, Kerb, Estrella Damm, E...WC, Tanks a lot, TAAF wouldn’t be possible without you. For us to continue to provide free opportunities for creatives, the support of you all is integral and you are part of everything.
Finally, the amazing CD team that worked tirelessly to bring this crazy concept to reality. The hours, stress, late nights, ups and downs, dealing with my bullshit and everything else that goes into an event like this. Especially when we haven’t stopped all the other crazy projects we do is testament to our focus on our mission and shows how bright the future of the platform is.
What an amazing success The Anti Art Fair was. We can’t wait for next year!

They know how to exhibit art.

Legends, all I can say. Incredible people and platform; connecting and support emerging artists by such amazing opportunities and exhibitions is exactly what the art world needs, a pleasure and honour to work with them !!

Just love the CD plus their instagram account is awesome too, do check that out!!

I've been following CD on insta for a while and I have nothing but love for them. The events and collabs with other art platforms are beaut. Such a good space for emerging artists!

I've been an artist working with Creative Debuts since Callum and Alex first started this fantastic platform. The idea of showcasing a variety of talented artists and giving them the opportunity to exhibit their work, has been a true blessing.

I think it's such a great idea that Calum and Alex are doing to promote emerging and undiscovered artists. They are on top of what's going on in the art scene and are constantly promoting their artists.

Great to be one of the emerging artists here! Great support, great events and great people!!

Great space with well curated art. I will definitely return.

Always show casing such an eclectic mix of up and coming artists in such beautifully inspired environments.

A wonderful platform for emerging artists with fantastic connections!
