Art London is a unique London art event collecting an eclectic range of pieces from an exclusive range of artists. Taking place in the picturesque setting of Royal Hospital Chelsea, the event promises to be a vibrant affair packed with plenty for art fans to enjoy.

A history of Art London
Returning for the tenth year in 2008 the event has firmly established itself a premier London art event, presenting a varied line up of pieces in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The venue of this year's event is again the Royal Hospital Chelsea, providing a suitably elegant backdrop for the show.

Eclectic art
Variety is definitely par for the course with an eclectic range of pieces on display. Stands will feature a varied mix of paintings, sketches, photographs and sculptures, presenting a wide range of styles from leading artists.

London galleries, united
Over 80 exhibitors will be on show at Art London, alongside 17 of Britain's foremost contemporary painters, combining forces in one of the biggest art events in the capital. Art London tickets are in demand for the opportunity to browse exclusive art in sophisticated surroundings at an eminent art event.

Unlimited artists
With literally hundreds of artists exhibiting at the show there are more than a few highlights to keep an eye open for. One special highlight for the 2008 show is a portrait of a Chelsea Pensioner from Jennifer McRae, a renowned portrait artist who spent 8 months in 2006 painting six portraits of Pensioners for raise money for the new Infirmary due to open in April 2009.

Art for charity
Last year's Art London charity partner was Merlin medical relief, the charity organisation that works to aid civilians in places of disaster and conflict throughout the world. And in 2008 art fans can explore a world of art at Royal Hospital Chelsea whilst supporting a new worthy cause.
