What is it to Cluster?

Founded in 2016, Cluster set the tone for art fairs that do away with middle men, dropped gallery representation and percentages skimmed off the top. Instead, it set out to be London’s most affordable art fair, featuring pure creation, unmitigated and unapologetic. Since then Cluster has grown into a celebration of diversity, style, material and themes, of ethnicity, background, age and class, a melting pot defined solely by the artistic necessity to express.

To date Cluster has held 19 fairs, including ones dedicated to Illustration, Crafts, Contemporary Jewellery, Contemporary Art and Photography & Print. With over 900 creatives featured, Cluster has formed a community of practitioners, which it supports through a programme of gatherings, career support, one-on-one development sessions, talks, seminars and workshops, as well as the opportunity to take part in an ongoing series of curated projects and more.

Cluster is more than a fair, it is a joint venture, a shared journey, creative safe house and exercise in community building. Each fair and every event is a meeting place of like-minded individuals, sharing stories of success and struggle, initiating conversations and collaborations.
