A number of galleries exhibit at the fair each year.[3][4] In the past, the fair was held at the Royal College of Art in South Kensington, west London, in September each year.[5] In 2012, the fair celebrated its 25th anniversary.[6] Due to a loss of availability of the venue, it was cancelled in 2016, but in June 2017 it was held during at the Mall Galleries in St James's, central London.[7] In 2018, the art fair moved to Saatchi Gallery at the Duke of York's HQ, which has become the fair's new home.[8]
