DEPOT, a pioneering new contemporary art event will launch in Oxford from Thursday 26th to Saturday 28th September 2024. Combined with curated solo presentations of international artists, the new model of art fair will be a draw to international collectors.
DEPOT is a new concept of exhibition-come-art fair, run collaboratively by artist-led commercial galleries, individual artists, specialist art fair platform ARTSVP, and Oxford-based arts charity Fusion Arts.
It aims to give serious collectors and art lovers access to world-class contemporary art outside London in a city celebrated for its rich cultural offering. The event, which will run annually in September, will be presented in its first year in a brand-new location in central Oxford.
The 2024 edition features around 10 national galleries selected by invitation, ensuring an exceptional representation of contemporary art. Future editions will grow in size with founding members and existing participants selecting new galleries to join. Fusion Arts will present a series of solo exhibitions by international artists including Jermaine Francis and Valerie Amani.
Max Mallows, ARTSVP, and one of DEPOT’s founding members said:
“It’s time to try something a little different. With DEPOT we aim to provide a blueprint on how to foster collaboration and partnerships to bring exciting art events to a wider audience.”
