The Open Art Fair

The Open Art Fair is a major showcase of fine art, design and antiques taking place in London in the early spring each year.

It came into existence after the British Antique Dealers’ Association sold a majority stake in its annual BADA Fair in 2019 to dealer Thomas Woodham-Smith and Harry Van der Hoorn, owner of Dutch stand builder Stabilo.

The fair retains strong representation from members of the British Antique Dealers’ Association but is also open to selected non-BADA members.
