Moniker Art Fair
The Village Underground, London
The iniative is back this year to shake up London's art fair scene once again highlighting the international scope of street art and beyond. A matchless assemblage of artists and galleries who are often overlooked by mainstream art fairs. Moniker Projects will continue with its philosophy of commissioning a series of offsite projects including public artworks, educational workshops and film screenings.
Following our hugely successful debut last year, Moniker is back to shake up London’s art fair scene once again highlighting the international scope of street art and beyond. Moniker was responsible for putting East London on the art fair map in 2010, challenging traditional conventions with both gallery exhibits and further signature project spaces ready to whet the appetites of the art crowds.
With over 10,000 people walking through its doors last year, Moniker is set to bombard the scene once again, with a matchless assemblage of artists and galleries who are often overlooked by mainstream art fairs.
Moniker has become recognised by those in tune with international art trends, along with collectors, critics and art lovers alike.
Moniker will take place in October this year at Village Underground, Shoreditch from the 13th–16th of October. In addition, Moniker Projects will continue with its philosophy of commissioning a series of offsite projects including public artworks, educational workshops and film screenings, offering visitors a number of opportunities to get involved and be informed.
Our Chosen venue is the Village Underground in Shoreditch, London.
The building is a vast Victorian warehouse with a 10m high skylight studded ceiling and is comprised of a main atrium and a pair of vaulted brick arches.
This Shoreditch location has quickly become a popular East London landmark, operating as a social enterprise for staging multidisciplinary programs and a platform for creativity and culture.
