‘For the first time in a long time, I’ll be delivering bespoke dark prophecies (aka ‘Misfortunetellings’) to anyone brave enough to hear them. What’s that, I hear you wonder? Well basically, you come and sit opposite me and we have a short but penetrating chat about life, love and all that. Then, after a brief consultation with the spirit world, I’ll write a bespoke dark prophecy for you to take away and hang on your wall. Tissues will be provided.’ – @themisfortuneteller

Their focus is primarily on developing a community led spirit initiated by artists to connect directly with the public and promote both the artists’ and buyers’ interests first.
‘Founded in 2017, Roy’s Art Fair had been growing exponentially year on year, becoming one of the most popular events in London to discover and buy artworks directly from artists. As the COVID19 Pandemic struck, many opportunities were lost for artists exhibiting at art fairs and galleries. As we emerge from the pandemic we are focused on bringing London’s cultural scene back to life and once again providing a free entry, welcoming fair for all to discover their next favourite artist’ – Roy Tyson, Founder
