We regret to announce the sad news that Kensington Market Art Fair will no longer be taking place in its original format.

We would like to thanks for their support of the arts from day one.

We would like to thank all the artists that participated in the fair. We built a beautiful relationship over the years!

We would also like to thank all those that came out and supported local artists. Please continue to do so!

We worked with many sponsors over the years. We would like to acknowledge their support of the arts.

And most importantly to all those who volunteered. Really we could not have done it without you.

Much love to you all and take care. Be kind ❤️

Better Is Coming! Our message and campaign was created to raise awareness of well being. Due to the Pandemic many of us are experiencing higher levels of stress and anxiety. Concerned with health, security mental wellness and the combination of lack of physical social interactions. As we experience these difficult times together, we must embrace that things might not be great, but that Better Is Coming!

We have created comfy hoodies and tote bags to raise funds for a variety of charitable organizations that have been in the front lines of the pandemic in supporting our most vulnerable communities.

The design of our campaign was inspired by the 1971 poster “War Is Over! If you want it”, by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Its bold lettering in all capitals was to enhance and visually be as loud as possible with their message of Peace. We wish to continue this message and that although things aren’t great, Better Is Coming!
