London Art Fair 2024 carries the sweet scents of the South Downs and the Sussex seaside as England’s most culturally sophisticated region makes its presence ever more known in the British art world.

Visitors will get a Sussex hit as soon as they walk in the doors. Every year since 2014 the organisers have selected a ‘Museum Partner’ to showcase work from the collection of an outside-London gallery, at a prominent stand near the entrance. This year the honour has been given to Charleston, once the country home of the Bloomsbury set, now a thriving art complex boasting four galleries, two on the original estate near Firle, and, since summer 2023, two in Southover House in Lewes. The partnership with London Art Fair sees the launch of the ’50 for 50’ campaign to celebrate Charleston Trust’s forthcoming 50th anniversary. Expect work by Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell, of course. We’re also hoping there might be a Patricia Preece or two, as a taster for the big spring show at Charleston Lewes.

Good old Sussex by the sea takes a weekend trip to Islington, then? It is for good reason that ROSA Magazine (Review of Sussex Arts) has partnered up with London Art Fair 2024, as we did in 2023. We are launching a new Sussex art map drawn by artist Helen Cann and showing off the Winter Issue (#7) of our sumptuous quarterly print magazine, plus offering subscriptions and partnerships, and other information about our print and digital coverage of the ever-more-vibrant Sussex art scene. What’s more, ROSA readers, whether from Sussex or beyond, are offered 20% discount on day passes to the Fair. Simply click below and use the access code ROSA20. See you there!

In addition, we have 10 pairs of complimentary tickets to give away to ROSA members. Get in touch with office@rosamagazine.co.uk to claim your pair before they run out!
