What Is London Art Fair? A guide for 2026 visitors

London Art Fair returns in January 2026 as one of the clearest markers that London’s cultural year has officially begun. It’s a fair that’s long been known for doing things thoughtfully - bringing together respected galleries, emerging voices, and serious collectors, while still feeling open and approachable for anyone with an interest in contemporary art.
Rather than trying to overwhelm, London Art Fair offers a well-edited view of what’s happening in modern and contemporary art right now. For visitors, that means time to look properly, ask questions, and discover work that feels relevant and current, whether you’re buying, browsing, or simply curious about where the art world is heading next.
