This is one of the coolest artist fairs I've ever been to! It literally goes on and on and on and…read moreon... Seriously- there's something for everyone here. It seems to happen on Saturdays and Sundays, and is run by the city. There's some order to this- people seem to have assigned booths, that are rented to them by the City of Buenos Aires. There's a food court in the middle of the artist fair, along with street performers.
As you meander through the artists' booths, it feels safe. I'd keep an eye out for pick pockets anyhow, but there was a healthy police presence and vendors don't want to see anything bad happen to all the visitors.
The range in artwork is diverse! It's not like it's all the same stuff- it's all very unique, and it's the actual artists there showing off their stuff. Everything is negotiable.
There's restrooms in the restaurants off the main street here. Feel free to have a bottle of malbec or a quillmes beer, ain't nobody stopping you! Why not?
