The Artists' Fair 2025

Somerset House Studios' annual artist-led market and accompanying programme, initiated by the resident artist community, returns for a third year. The Artists’ Fair builds on its previous discussions and insights to present a responsive weekend of events addressing contemporary concerns artists are facing today.

Taking place over two days, the fair offers an ambitious programme of talks, performances and workshops, designed to share resources, explore strategies, and propose new approaches to sustaining a practice. It brings together artists, curators, and cultural practitioners to reflect on evolving modes of working and collaboration.

Breaking away from the traditional commercial art fair, the Artists’ Fair features market stalls hosted by Somerset House Studios resident artists, with 100% of the profits going directly to the artists. The stalls will offer a range of items, from unique artworks to affordable prints, publications, and wearable merchandise.

For this year’s edition, participating artists are invited to design a limited-edition t-shirt, in collaboration with Everpress. Visitors will have the opportunity to order these exclusive designs on the day of the event.
