London Art Fair with No Dealers where Artists Keep All Profits
The Artists’ Fair at Somerset House is back for its second edition, offering a unique experience where artists themselves will be selling their work and keeping all the profits. Organised by Marie McPartlin, this event is a celebration of community and support networks among artists. Despite its small scale, The Artists’ Fair provides a valuable platform for artists to sell their work independently, bypassing the traditional gallery commission system. Exhibiting artists like Philomene Pirecki and Paul Purgas bring impressive backgrounds to the fair. The event will also feature talks on making a living as an artist, including ‘Side Hustling for a Sustainable Practice’. Visit The Artists’ Fair at Somerset House on 1 June for a different kind of art market experience.
