posted by Amber Weaver July 21, 2018

The London Illustration Fair, who’s also one of our newest People of Print Members, 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. The date for The London Illustration Fair 2018 is Nov 29 to Dec 2 and applications are now open.

The venue for the event is the Bargehouse on London’s South Bank. The space is a 4-storey raw warehouse within Oxo Tower Wharf that will provide a unique, exciting and versatile backdrop to the event’s artwork, workshops and activities. With over 10,000sqft of floor space to play with the Bargehouse is the perfect space for us all to flex our creative muscles.

Being one of the most popular creative events in London, the London Illustration Fair sets out to showcase, support and champion the biggest and best, most creative and downright inspiring Illustrators, collectives, companies, galleries, and creative start-ups making an impact in the scene today. The artists are given creative freedom to engage, enrich and inspire their audience, sell you their goods and just generally have a good time. Here’s where illustrators make a name for themselves, stand beside their peers, to show them all what they’ve got up their sleeve. In addition, expect plenty of mulled wine, murals, exclusive prints and a full-on party vibe perfect for the festive month. Expect to splash paint with some of your favourite creatives, learn a technique or two, swap ideas or business cards with the agency of the moment or simply gaggle on about all things creative at their bar offering a range of drinks and more.
