What’s in a name, eh? Well the Moniker Art Fair has a fair bit of cache, having been around for 6 editions already. The seventh returns to Old Truman Brewery and will play host to 21 exhibiting galleries from across the globe, exhibiting stunning debuts from the likes of the Philippines’ Vinyl on Vinyl and Holland’s Stick Together Gallery. The hugely popular UK exhibitors Jealous Gallery and Curious Duke Gallery, as well as South Africa’s Worldart Gallery will also be returning after the success of last year.
Also new for this year, the fair, in partnership with Curious Duke Gallery, has announced the Secret Art Prize. At the end of August, a panel of judges including DJ Trevor Nelson and luminaries from the contemporary art world including artist Mark Powell, art historian Ana Bambic Kostov and gallery director Anna Smithson, will pick one talented emerging artist to be presented with a solo exhibition at Moniker Art Fair.
Even if you’re not collecting, it’s worth a browse, and you might even be tempted into purchasing a print, with prices starting from £50. ‘Art on a Postcard’, the lottery run by Moniker’s charity partner The Hepatitis C Trust, will also be returning with some unique and valuable prizes to be won. There’s a hellsa lot more info to tell you, but we won’t give it all away.
