Women in Art Fair Returns to London

The Women in Art Fair (WIAF), the UK's leading fair dedicated exclusively to women artists, will return to London's OXO Gallery for its fourth edition from May 7-10, 2026. The event will showcase 80 artists selected from 600 applicants through a blind review process, featuring a program of exhibitions, awards, and events, including a Creative Health & Wellbeing Day.

The fair directly addresses the significant gender imbalance in the global art market, where women represent over half of practicing artists but account for less than 10% of auction sales. By providing a dedicated platform, career-focused prizes, and professional development opportunities, WIAF aims to increase visibility, equity, and support for women artists, reinforcing the role of creativity in wellbeing and challenging systemic market disparities.
