Regent's Park, London, is the venue in October each year for the exciting Frieze Art Fair. This year exhibition will take place between 14th and 17th October.

The exhibitors at the fair are both established and those new to the art world, appealing to an audience that is world wide.  The fair attracts art work from more than 170 international art galleries and is a one stop opportunity for art lovers to view and purchase art. As if this isn't enough, the fair also has artists' projects that have been commissioned exclusively – it is even possible to attend a session where artists conduct talks about their art.

The Frieze Art Fair has proved to be very popular, with in excess of 60,000 visitors that include the curators and collectors, artists and critics as well as the art loving general public. From the "first time" collector to seasoned purveyors of art, everyone is bound to find something to satisfy them at the art fair.

What sets the Frieze Art Fair apart is that it is one of a select group of fairs dedicated to contemporary and living artists, bringing exciting art to everyone. It is also unique in that it has its own temporary structure within Regent's Park that takes advantage of the natural light available. This use of natural light showcases the art in an entirely different way to the usual harsh artificial light of a trade show. As well, a series of concerts is presented during the week of Frieze Art Fair in an off-site location.

The fair provides professionally guided tours that are presented with the assistance of the Art Fund, to make your visit even better, furthermore Art Fund members enjoy two-for-one entry ticket offer.

From as early as its inception in 1999, Art London has had the mission to combine “serious” art with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere: something that is not that common in the art world.

Art London 2010 is thrilled to be able to welcome a new group of participants from the US, Hong Kong and Ireland, in conjunction with returning exhibitors from such distant shores as Argentina and Australia.

In 2010, there will be on display many works by major modern British and 20th century artists: some of these are Elisabeth Frink, Paul Nash, John Piper, Edward Seago and Graham Sutherland.

Opening Times
7th – 11th October, 2010
Thursday, Sunday & Monday 11am-8.30pm
Friday, Saturday 11am-8pm
Royal Hospital, Chelsea
London Gate, Royal Hospital Road, SW3 4SR

Art London has always had a cosmopolitan theme, with 2010 continuing this theme. Art from all corners of the globe can be found. This includes both the “themed” shows exhibiting the works of a number of talented artists as well as “solo” exhibitions. Whatever the focus, visitors to Art London can be assured that they will not be subjected to an overload of the senses, which is typical of other events.

One feature of Art London which contributes to its unique character is the educational Special Exhibition. This year, the leaders of the council of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have graciously loaned exhibits from the Leighton House museum.

As well as this Special Exhibition, dedicated to Frederic, Lord Leighton, Art London will also feature an outdoor Sculpture Garden which has, as a rustic rural backdrop, the grounds of the Royal Hospital. The Sculpture Garden will showcase works from a small select group of sculptors: namely, Marzia Colonna, Bruce Denny, Philip Jackson, Gill Parker and Shan Shan Sheng.

Recommended by many art critics from numerous publications, Art London is a must visit event! Two-for-one entry on presentation of an Art Fund membership card.
