First initiated in 2022, the alternative artist-led market The Artists’ Fair returns for its fourth edition, accompanied by a live programme of talks and workshops. This day-long market offers an opportunity to connect directly with artists around their work, bringing audiences together with practitioners through stalls, conversations and exchanges across the day.
This year’s talks programme is presented in collaboration with Montez Press Radio, an experimental broadcasting and performance platform who will be transmitting live from the River Rooms at Somerset House Studios. The talks can be attended in person but will also be broadcast live via Montez Press Radio for audiences tuning in remotely.
Responding to the ongoing and evolving challenges artists face today, this year's programme explores poetic and pragmatic ways artists can thrive amidst a growing sense of uncertainty emerging within a landscape marked by political rupture.
