From Biennials in Tunisia and Nigeria to the art weeks dotted around Europe this winter, we’ve compiled a list of all the major art events not to miss between now and Christmas for anyone curious enough to look beyond the usual fanfare that comes with Frieze London…
November is the month London stops pretending it is still autumn. The bonfires are lit in the first week, the Christmas lights go up from the 4th, and four major exhibitions open within a fortnight of each other. Ian McKellen returns to the stage in Hackney Wick, Pitchfork and the EFG London Jazz Festival…
Never has there been a better reason than the pleasure of art to drag you out of the house during what we can only predict will be a dreary November. If you’re looking to jump back in time, an upcoming exhibition at the V&A is set to include hundreds of relics from Istanbul’s yesteryears…
After what has been a troubling few years for the art market (at home and abroad), Frieze London & Frieze Masters have brought a sense of unexpected joy and magic both in the art on the wall and in the sales that have followed.

Nothing beats London during Frieze Week. Every October, an infectious buzz settles over the city as galleries, institutions, brands and even bars and clubs all throw their weight behind art and culture. We wanted to whet your cultural appetite by drawing your attention to a variety of exhibitions to sink your teeth into that go far beyond the fair’s traditional white tent set-up.
Since Frieze London arrived in 2003, white tented walls have become the standard backdrop for the creative industries and, by extension, for fairs at large. From the alternative to the traditional, here are the upcoming autumn art fair events promising to keep your diaries booked and busy…
