Welcome to FAB 2012
The FAB team are very excited about 2012’s two-week program of exhibitions and events; celebrating our fifth birthday, proudly presenting local, national, international and well-established artists, along with those just starting out.
The FAB•1 base on Stall Street (in the old Officer’s Club) presents exhibitions by FAB invited curators, the Photomarathon 2012 photographs and the FAB Open Art Prize which is kindly being judged by Liz Henry, Editor in Chief of Art of England Magazine.
FAB•2 Pigeon Park (in the old Pet Shop) is packed full of group shows, collections of work specially created and presented for FAB 2012.
Make sure you visit FAB•3, the Octagon and FAB•4 in Walcot Chapel for two fantastic group shows.
FAB•5, in the old Wessex Water Pumping Station, artist Samuel Cook is creating site responsive work using the river Avon nearby to source materials. This project is a collaboration between FAB, the Bath Fringe Festival and Crest Nicholson property developers, in the heart of the ongoing Riverside Development.
Be sure to book all FAB events in your diary, with the Opening Night Preview starting at 6pm on Friday 25th May, the FAB Art Fair in Kingsmead Square on Bedlam Sunday. Party in the City, Friday 1st June includes Moving ON dance show at 6pm in FAB•2 and a late night Arty Party at all FAB venues.

What is FAB?
FAB is a not for profit volunteer run company, we cannot do it without your help.
Fringe Arts Bath (FAB) is a small not-for-profit company that arranges a two-week programme of contemporary art exhibitions, events and workshops during Bath Fringe Festival in May/June each year. We aim to raise the profile of contemporary visual arts in Bath, provide opportunities for early-career and emerging artists, and put art in unusual places in unexpected ways for people to happen across.
The committee organizing the festival are all volunteers and all do it for the love of the visual arts. If you are keen on seeing more decent art happening in Bath and have a love for the visual arts as much as we do then get in touch!
FAB are keen to hear from prospective volunteers and artists throughout the year.
