FAD Magazine (Fast Art News) is a platform keeping you up to date with all things art-related. Each day, we publish art news, event and exhibition previews, reviews as well as in-depth features and interviews with cultural figures, emerging or well-established.
Since our founding in 2008, we have worked globally from our base in London, reaching out to provide a holistic overview of every facet of the contemporary art scene. Interested in culture and ideas at large, our publishing extends beyond Contemporary Art, touching, fashion, tech, music and design.
Our key motivation is to be a source of insight, allowing you to feel at home within our fast-paced art world.
