What is ART FOR ALL?
Friday 17th to Sunday 19th November 2023
ART FOR ALL is a celebration of visual and performing arts. Hosted annually by Fairfield Primary School, it is an opportunity for members of the community to see, experience and immerse themselves in fabulous art and creativity, and for FPS students to showcase their learning and the artworks that they’re proud of. Including customised T-shirts, an Art Gallery, Gala Night, Gallery Shop, and ArtZone's activities for kids, it’s sure to be a great weekend.
So come and join the fun! Whether you’re a kid, an adult, a parent, family, a friend, a community member or an arts enthusiast – there’s something happening for everyone.

For this year's theme, Marjie and students have been focusing on the artist, inventor, scientist, engineer, draftsman... Leonardo DaVinci. Across all year levels students have been preparing their artwork and will select one chosen piece to be displayed in our ART FOR ALL Gallery.
FPS kids and friends can enjoy Family Day on Sunday 19th November from 10am – 3pm, with art activities in the ArtZone, Mona's Silent Disco, roving performances, follow the Art Trail, and eat delicious food. Kids can also participate in the making of the Art Community Project and more!
The school gym will be transformed into a curated Gallery and Gallery Shop for the weekend. Opening on Friday 17th, come and enjoy amazing artwork and handmade goods from local emerging and established artists and makers. Most of the artwork, sculptures and handmade goods will be for sale.
Book the 'sitter for Gala Night Saturday 18th, it's our official Gallery opening and award giving night. Enjoy a glass of bubbles from the bar, music, entertainment and gorgeous canapés served by our Year 6 students.
Now in its 26th year ART FOR ALL has been a long standing part of the Fairfield community. We welcome families, friends and neighbours beyond the school community to enjoy our mammoth event. Whether it be participating in a hip hop workshop with our Indigenous performers, enjoying a coffee at the Cafe and stocking up on Xmas presents at the Gallery Shop, dancing with Mona in the Silent Disco, or submitting their artwork in our Gallery, there's something for everyone in the Fairfield community.
We work very hard to make ART FOR ALL a waste-free event. This year there'll be no landfill bins, just washable or school compostable or recycling drop off points, and our signage will be reusable and adaptable for years to come.
The Gallery and Gallery Shop is open all weekend, so come and have a look.
Perhaps you'd like to apply to have your artwork displayed for sale in the Gallery? We have several categories of awards to be won.
Maybe you handmake something special and would like to sell throughout the Gallery Shop? Applications open in August, stay tuned.
