42nd edition of the independent art and design fair with more than 250 artists at Chelsea Old Town Hall.
Parallax Art Fair returns to Chelsea Old Town Hall on Saturday 24 October for its 42nd edition. It's a big one — the fair bills itself as Europe's largest independent art and design fair, and this edition brings together more than 250 artists under one roof. If you've been to previous years, you'll know the scale it works on; if you haven't, it's a good place to see a huge range of work in a single afternoon without having to hop between different galleries across the city.
With over 250 artists exhibiting, the sheer variety is the main draw. You'll find painting, sculpture, photography, and design, with the independent focus meaning the work comes from a broad mix of backgrounds rather than a few big names. It's the kind of fair where you can spend an hour just drifting through the stands and seeing styles that wouldn't normally sit next to each other. Because it's an independent fair, you're often looking at work directly from the artists themselves, which gives the whole thing a different feel from a curated commercial gallery show.
