The London Illustration Fiar

London's contemporary illustration event

The London Illustration Fair (LIF) Is celebrating its 5th birthday with 5 floors of artwork, prints, workshops, talks and much more from some of the world’s most renowned artists and designers. Returning for a jam packed 4 day festival at the much loved Bargehouse at Oxo Tower Wharf on the Southbank.

The LIF 2018 will feature a plethora of new illustrators who have never exhibited before, with over 60 artists exhibiting and selling their work. In addition, the workshops and talks programme is bigger and better than ever; with free workshop, masterclasses, entertaining discussions and in-depth industry talks.

To celebrate our 5th birthday, we have invited five featured artists and companies to create their most engaging programme of activity to date;

- Morag Myerscough, Illustration superstar, will be adorning the fairs entrance space with one of her big, bold and bright installations.

- Bread Collective will be producing a large mural for the fair in their distinctive typographic style before leading a group of school kids to produce their own mural.

- Billy Clark will be creating the LIF marketing imagery as well as producing a range of images and merchandise exclusively for the fair.

- Great Ormond Street Hospital will be celebrating 30 years with 30 leading illustrator’s work, including Anthony Burrill, Hattie Stewart and Supermundane. The whole collection of prints and tee shirts will be available to buy at the fair.

- People of Print will be running tote bag screen-printing sessions, celebrating the design of emerging illustrators from the fair. All this and plenty more.
