Glasgow artists including Ciara Phillips, Henry Coombes, Erica Eyres, Michael Fullerton and Jamie Johnson will be showing works with prices ranging in price from £50 to £1500.

Many of those involved have shown in the likes of The National Gallery of Scotland and V&A Dundee.

The event has been organised by Glasgow-based online gallery FromtheStudio.art to mark its first full year of trading.

Artist and founder Helen de Main said: “Our aim is to inspire a new generation of art collectors and art-lovers by exposing people to great art at great prices, to live with the art they love and support artists livelihoods.”

She said: “We are passionate about promoting contemporary artists whose practice is excellent in terms of execution and whose work is informed by current ideas and ultimately says something powerful and relevant about the world today.”
