What is the Art Fair Edition?
The Art Fair Edition is not an open advertising opportunity.
It is a curated, short run urban exhibition designed to place visually confident artworks into the public realm during one of London’s busiest moment for art.
Selected works will be displayed on a digital billboard near the exhibition space, forming a temporary exhibition that exists alongside the fair, engaging audiences beyond gallery walls and traditional exhibition spaces.
Why?
Instead of asking artists to pay thousands for a booth, we take the work directly into the city placing it on a high-impact digital billboard during one of London’s busiest art moments.
It is about:
Making exposure fair and accessible
Removing traditional barriers to entry
Giving emerging artists the same visibility as major institutions
Letting the public encounter art naturally, outside gallery walls
This edition is built for artists who want to be seen, taken seriously, and part of London’s art conversation without being priced out of it.
Location
The digital screen is located on Brick Lane, just moments from the iconic Truman Brewery. This area is one of East London’s busiest and most well known destinations, with consistently high footfall throughout the day and into the evening.
Brick Lane is famous for its vibrant food scene, nightlife, and social atmosphere, attracting a wide mix of visitors. The surrounding area is home to cafés, restaurants, galleries, and creative spaces, drawing in professionals from the nearby City alongside artists, students, and a thriving creative community known for its street art, murals, and independent culture.
