London Art Fair

Not every contemporary art fair can celebrate a 25th anniversary, well… a few can, but not in London. And as the London Art Fair marks quarter of a century it also becomes bolder (100 UK and international galleries for the Main Fair) and younger (30 non-established galleries within the Art Projects section).

For this year we get the Main Fair (including galleries such as Pertwee, Anderson & Gold, Jack Bell Gallery….), the Art Projects section which will feature London’s emerging contemporary artists (and this year they welcome an exciting one: the Artist-Led Initiatives Support Network (A.L.I.S.N)); and last but not least… the photographic themed showcase this year curated by Nick Hackworth, Director of Paradise Row.

And to top-up the visit…. there’s that extensive programme of talks, debates, daily tours… etc. The bad thing: £16 for a day pass, the good thing… established artists and a lot of new talent, talent, talent. More info this way.
