The London Illustration Fair 2024
29 NOV - 1 DEC
Truman BREWERY | DRay walk | SHOREDITCH
Fri 12 - 6 | Sat 12 - 8 | Sun 12 -6
This November London’s biggest artist-led illustration event will be returning to a NEW VENUE, London’s iconic Truman Brewery, in the heart of Shoreditch, with another jam-packed festival of illustration. Come help us celebrate with over 80 artists offering prints, products, workshops and festivities. (Please note our venue change from previous years).
The London Illustration Fair is an annual artist-led illustration, print and graphic design fair, bringing artists and buyers together in a unique environment. The fair offers the chance for illustration lovers to come face to face with their favourite artists and discover amazing new artwork from emerging illustrators. There is something for every pocket from the budding art collector, to the alternative Christmas shopper.
NEW VENUE: TRUMAN BReWery
Sadly, our venue of 8 years, the Bargehouse have had to cancel all events until at least 2025 due to structural issues with the venue. Shocking news I know, but thankfully, we have been able to secure another venue in the Truman Brewery! As many of you will know, the Truman Brewery is an amazing venue in Shoreditch, the creative heart of London.
Although unexpected, we are super excited by the venue change! Truman Brewery is a well established venue and with buckets of charm, just like the Bargehouse. Their long standing reputation as an amazing venue for creative events meant that the process has been pretty seamless! We have a strong feeling that this will be our new home for years to come!!
