A B2B art and design fair placing works in context — within the real hospitality spaces where they will live.
Register InterestMost art fairs ask buyers to imagine how a work might live in their hotel, their office, their private club. May/Fair removes the imagination gap entirely. Works are presented within real Mayfair hospitality environments — restaurants, bars, membership clubs — allowing buyers to experience art exactly as it would inhabit their own spaces.
The result is a focused event for people who acquire and place art seriously. No general public. No vast exhibition halls. A carefully curated selection of works, presented with intent.
An invitation-only event where primary access is reserved for institutional buyers with active acquisition programmes.
Works are shown in situ — within the hospitality spaces they are designed to inhabit. Context is not simulated, it is real.
A small, deliberately chosen selection of works. May/Fair is built for considered acquisition without overwhelming showcase.
Guided tours, private dinners, wine tastings, coffee meetings, matchmaking sessions and talks in some of Mayfair's high-end hospitality spaces.
Led by specialists with recognised expertise and large networks in the international art market.
Exclusive access for institutional buyers. Guided tours, private viewings, one-to-one matchmaking with curators and artists.
