MONIKER PROJECTS – Moniker International Art Fair was launched in 2010 in direct response to the lack of representation of artists and gallery’s among the more established art fairs that take place in London during October.
Moniker highlights the work of artists linked to street art and counter culture who are widely acclaimed by museums and established art institutions throughout the world. The Moniker International Art Fair includes talks, film screening, specially commissioned artist projects and an opportunity to see work from leading gallery’s from around the world associated with this genre.
Moniker International Art Fair will be returning to Village Underground, Shoreditch - the heart of London’s East End – October 13-16th 2011.
