AWAD is delighted to be a cultural partner of the London Art Fair which returns to the Business Design Centre in Islington, 21-25 January 2026 (preview 20 January). The fair brings together a curated selection of leading Modern and Contemporary galleries from the UK and around the world. Now in its 38th year, the Fair remains a trusted destination for collectors and art enthusiasts to discover new work, connect and invest at the start of the international art calendar.
Curated by art historian Dr Ferren Gipson, the 2026 edition of Platform, titled The Unexpected, explores artists pushing the boundaries of materiality and process to challenge conventional ideas of art-making. Meanwhile, Encounters brings together a roster of emerging and international galleries – with exhibitors from Mexico, Turkey, Japan, and France – introducing fresh perspectives and new voices to the London market.
AWAD will be visiting the fair and AWAD Members, Partners and Friends who are interested in tickets and/or a tour of the fair should contact the AWAD team. In addition, AWAD’s partner ArtAML will be sponsoring the award for the best stand.
