Art Aficionados Unite in London this October

Art Aficionados Unite in London this October

This October, the UK capital will showcase the work of both established and emerging artists for two captivating arts festivals: Frieze London and PAD London Design & Art Fair.

Frieze London, 9-13 October 2024

Regent’s Park, London, has hosted contemporary art fair Frieze London since its origins in 2003. This year will involve more than 160 galleries from 43 countries, as well as work by solo artists such as Lubaina Himid, Rashid Johnson, Glenn Ligon, and Hurvin Anderson. Frieze London 2024 will see a reimagined floorplan with featured works exhibited in specially curated sections, including the Artist-to-Artist area and a selection of pieces that respond to this year’s theme: ‘Smoke’.

Frieze London will be open for general admission between Thursday 10th and Sunday 13th October at selected times. Buy your tickets here.
