One of the world's great art cities, with something worth seeing every single week. From Frieze to First Thursdays, blue-chip to grassroots — here's what's happening in London right now.
ROOM 13 is delighted to invite you to register interest* to join us at a magnificent location, where in classic ROOM 13 fashion we will feed you oh so well, have you gasp in delight over the little surprises we prepared and bring everyone together ahead of Frieze so we can compare calendars and make sure the week ahead will be stunning success for all.
Dresscode: At the Stables**
**as we will be in former stables we want to see you in high boots, possibly carrying a crop or a little chic riding coat. Or dress up as a unicorn, in rainbow hues and a plush tail. Anything goes! We all got a pony girl/boy in us somewhere. Let them out to play!
* the easiest way to ensure entry is the membership of course. Head to ROOM 13 to join!
Opening 14th October at Nahmad Projects, ‘The Studio’ presents a series of new works by Anna Freeman Bentley in dialogue with works by 20th Century Masters.
The artist’s studio has long been more than a place of work. It is a theatre of the self; a space where the act of looking turns inward, where the world is examined and reimagined. Exhibited alongside the works of Braque, Dufy, de Chirico, Matisse and Picasso, Anna Freeman Bentley’s paintings of her own studio - and of the studios of fellow painters - ask quietly but insistently what it has meant, and continues to mean, to claim this space as an artist.
Please join us for a private view of the exhibition on Tuesday 13th October from 6-8PM at Nahmad Projects, 2 Cork Street, W1S 3LB.
THE HANG: THE ART WORLD GETS A RAVE
Minor Attractions Introduces New Rave Night as their Official Opening After Party
THE HANG is a new art world club night curated by provocateur Ryan Lanji. Celebrating the opening of Minor Attractions, the night resurrects the idea of the cultural watering hole of pure creativity, sweat and unfiltered expression.
This is where the white cube comes undone. Think Studio 54 colliding with the raw energy of London’s most inclusive underground spaces. Fusing queerness, rave culture, inclusivity, and fame into a single dance floor, where audiences let loose and bodies become the spectacle. Expect a room dripping with sweat in the most painterly way possible. At THE HANG, sweat turns into paint.
Featuring DJs Lucia Blayke, Jack Mudd, Joel Mignott and special guests.

Fair Play x House Collective present a series of intimate, supper club-style gatherings, bringing artists, collectors, curators, designers, chefs and cultural thinkers together around the table. The programme takes PLAY as its starting point: experimentation, collaboration, curiosity and a willingness to challenge the conventions of the art world.
Each sitting is shaped by a different host and theme, opening up conversations around how art is collected, lived with, discovered and supported.
Seats are strictly limited. Tickets are £85 and include entry into the fair for the day you attend.
All supper clubs hosted in the Portland Greenhouse at One Marylebone.
