The London Illustration Fair (The LIF) – Europe’s leading illustration event – celebrates its 10th year on Friday 24th to Sunday 26th November 2023.

With an emphasis on engagement and interaction, it will once again this year convene an all star line-up of illustrators, workshops, installations and give fans the opportunity to come face to face with their favorite artists at London’s iconic OXO Tower Wharf in Southbank.

Since its beginnings, The LIF’s mission has been to create a community of artists and develop a platform designed to celebrate the artistic and cultural value of illustration in order to increase its recognition as an art form. Over the years, it has exhibited works from over 1,000 artists and sold more than 70,000 artworks with a combined sales of over £1 million. 

For its tenth anniversary, The LIF will host 60+ exhibiting artists who will join the Featured Artists (to be announced) to create bespoke artwork and installations for the milestone event. The Featured Artists will lead with the theme of love, affection and acceptance – a theme inspired by the post pandemic rise in exacerbated loneliness. These will culminate in an eclectic mix of interactive installations, exhibitions, music and digital visuals spread throughout the fair.

The AOI is proud to partner once again with The LIF to deliver talks as part of their public programme, with discounted tickets available for AOI Members. More details can be found below:
