Echo Soho, the new art fair founded by and for female-led galleries, has announced the final list of exhibitors for its inaugural edition, taking place from 16th – 19th October 2025 in the heart of London’s Soho.
Participating galleries: Alice Black, Alice Amati, AWITA, Berntson Bhattacharjee, Gillian Jason Gallery, House of Bandits, LAMB, Liminal Gallery, Lizzie Glendinning, Pipeline, Wilder, Wondering People.
Gallery Highlights:
• House of Bandits presents a dynamic group of Sarabande Foundation artists. Highlights include Tulips on a Tiled Floor by Karimah Hassan, a vibrant still life taken from Columbia Road Flower Market; a woven chair sculpture by Darcey Fleming made from discarded baler twine; Daisy Collingridge’s playful fabric-based forms; and Emma Witter’s delicate sculptures in bone and bronze.
• Pipeline dedicates its booth to Rachel Clancy, presenting a new body of paintings following her acclaimed exhibition The Thought Below.
• Liminal Gallery stages a bold pairing of coloured pencil works by Maud Whatley and Fipsi Seilern, with new works exclusive to Echo Soho.
• Gillian Jason Gallery presents Austrian-American artist Jane Mechner, whose carousel paintings and prints reflect on ideology, nationalism, and cultural dissonance.
• Berntson Bhattacharjee transforms the chapel of Artist’s House with a site-specific installation by Polish-born artist Alicja Biala, created in situ during the month leading up to the fair.
• Lizzie Glendinning presents works by Eleanor May Watson, Cat Roissetter, and Natasha Michaels, each reinterpreting art historical narratives through process-led practices shaped by their experiences as artist mothers.
• Wondering People introduces works by emerging artists Willa Hilditch, Jameela Stenheden Gordon-King, Iola Lawton, Amata Benedicte, and Eeva Lietonen, united by a sensitivity to everyday observation, memory, and transformation.
• LAMB presents a new work by Bea Bonafini that signals a new direction in her practice, where painting converges with textiles. The piece was created through the painstaking hand-dyeing of cotton, canvas, and linen with pigments gathered by the artist across various regions
• Wilder Gallery presents a new body of work by Royal College of Art graduate Xanthe Burdett, titled Voices Caught in the Earth. The presentation features a large-scale oil painting alongside four oil and metal leaf works on board.
Further presentations include contributions from Alice Black and Alice Amati, each adding to the dynamic mix of perspectives on show.
