appreciators

Explanation:
I think "fruir" really means to appreciate, and I think that it in English it is more natural to make it plural, rather than treating "el público" as a single entity. "Appreciators and potential buyers".

"Boston Visual Art Appreciators
If you enjoy contemporary ("art of today") visual art from established and emerging professional artists and are seeking other people with whom to visit museums and galleries, this is the Meetup for you."
http://www.meetup.com/BostonVisualArtAppreciators/

Here is an interesting comment on the difference between "fruidor" and "espectador":

"¿Qué diferencia hay entre fruidor y espectador?
Fruir significa, según el diccionario, gozo, deleite, placer, disfrute, complacencia. Mientras que expectación significa interés, inquietud o curiosidad con que se espera algo.
Por lo tanto, la diferencia entre un fruidor y un espectador está dada en que el primero, ante una obra, ya sea teatral, cinematográfica, pictórica u otra, la apreciará y gozará de ella teniendo como posibilidad el potenciar la riqueza de su contacto personal con aquella. En tanto el espectador, por definición es el sujeto que el autor de una obra construye para que la aprecie. El papel del espectador está predefinido según la voluntad del autor, sin embargo el sujeto que en la realidad percibe la obra puede no ajustarse a lo que el autor de la obra esperaba. Ese sujeto asiste a un espectáculo; se sumerge en la obra, actúa frente a ésta sensiblemente, es partícipe consciente del impacto que pueda tener esa obra sobre sí, pues su contemplación va más allá de la mera observación, tiene un interés, una proyección de ideas y sentimientos hacia ésta."

art lovers

Explanation:
I read this as saying that art lovers can also be regarded as potential art buyers .

aficionados

Explanation:
In this context, "un público fruidor" can mean viewers, but also implies people who enjoy and appreciate art. "Aficionado" is the closest noun I can think of that conveys appreciation and enjoyment.
