Image edinburgh fringe festival.jpg thumb Edinburgh Fringe, Scotland , the largest artsfestival in the world An artsfestival is a festival that focuses on the visual arts in all its forms, but which may also focus on or include other arts. Arts festivals in the visual arts are exhibitions and are not to be confused with the commercial art fair . Artists participate in the most important of such festival exhibitions by invitation, and these exhibitions e.g. the Venice Biennale are organised by internationally recognized curators chosen by a committee of peers. These international exhibitions must be distinguished from art fairs, market oriented gatherings of art dealers and their wares, which have recently emerged as among the most important art world venues for promoting artists and sales of contemporary art in the present day super heated art market. History Probably the two oldest festivals are in England. The Three Choirs Festival in the West of England was established as a yearly musical assembly by 1719. ref http www.3choirs.org about three choirs history festival anthony boden.html ref The other is the Norfolk and Norwich Festival which first took place in 1772. ref http www.norwich.gov.uk internet docs docs Unitary Council AnnexB.pdf ref The largest artsfestival in England today is the Brighton Festival .
