A day of original art, independent artists and creativity in the heart of Boscombe.

Come and discover something new at Art in the Arcade, a curated art fair taking place in the historic Royal Arcade in Boscombe on Saturday 21 November.

Bringing together around 18–20 independent artists, the event is an opportunity to explore original artwork, meet the people who make it and discover the stories and processes behind their work. Alongside the artwork on display, visitors can enjoy live art demonstrations and see creativity in action.

Organised by local curator Millie Lake through Curated by Millie, the fair aims to create more opportunities for independent artists to share their work and connect with new audiences, while bringing people into Royal Arcade and celebrating its community of independent businesses.

Never been to an art fair before? You’re in the right place.

You don’t need to be an art expert or an established collector to enjoy the event. Whether you’re searching for a unique piece for your home, looking for a thoughtful gift, keen to support independent artists or simply curious to see what’s on offer, everyone is welcome.

Come along with a friend, have a wander around the arcade and discover your next favourite artist.
