Pop-Up Art Exhibition Opens On Chiltern Street

A group exhibition exploring folklore, myths and fairy tales will be popping up on Chiltern Street from 6 – 25 May 2022.

Once Upon a Time…, co-curated by Flora Fairbairn and Katie Heller, is a group exhibition bringing together a wide selection of artists at various stages of their careers to explore the traditions, beliefs, customs, and stories that have shaped our collective cultural histories, and the roles they play today. On display will be a selection of new and existing works – primarily paintings, drawings, photographs, installations and works on paper – that highlight some of the many diverse perspectives on folklore from different parts of the world throughout the ages.

The exhibition is taking place at 23-25 Chiltern Street, courtesy of The Portman Estate, and will be open Tuesdays to Saturdays 11.00 – 18.00 and Sundays 14.00 – 18.00. A percentage of profits from the exhibition will be donated to the Disaster Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
