Event History
This is the 10th year and 6th edition of the London Art Biennale. Over the years, thousands of artists have been presented from over 70 nations. The London Art Biennale has been opened by The Lord Mayors of Kensington & Chelsea and Lady Frederick Windsor.
What Makes this event different?
The London Art Biennale is a museum-quality award show, that is professionally curated to induce a stimulating, varied yet coherent experience for the viewer. Through the years, the Biennale has committed significant efforts to charity. Original artworks by Andy Warhol, Pietro Annigoni, Jose Van Roy Dali, and a Fiat 500 have been donated with 100% of proceeds gifted to various charitable organizations such as the Rotary International’s “End Polio Now” Charity, the Salvation Army, London’s Air Ambulance, and Age UK.
