Whatâ??s There
Over 1,000 different artists will be at this event. Visitors will have the opportunity to not only see the art, but to buy it as well. The fair will also feature Frieze Projects. These projects consist of a program of art commissions. There will be lectures, debates and panel discussions. This year there will also be a new component to the fair called Live that will feature performance based art.

Artists that are participating in this yearâ??s Frieze Projects include Northern Balletâ??s Nick Mauss, ZSL London Zooâ??s Cerith Wyn Evans and Dance Umbrellaâ??s Jerome Bel.

How Itâ??s Different
The Frieze Art Fair is quite different than most other art fairs that occur around the world. The biggest difference is the focus on the living arts as well as the contemporary art. Because it is held in a temporary structure that is constructed outdoors, it also has a lot of natural light that gives an interesting effect to the pieces of art as well as the overall atmosphere. Visitors donâ??t feel as if they are stuff in a stuffy museum or event hall.

The Frieze Art Fair is one of the top cultural events that takes place in London. It is important for the community as it brings about an awareness of the importance of arts and culture to society. Visitors are able to see quite a few pieces of artwork concentrated in one place. Over 60,000 people attend this event each year. Many of them being critics, collectors, arts and curators. The Frieze Art Fair isnâ??t just an event, itâ??s an experience.
