CREATIVITY ABOUNDS AT FRIEZE LONDON 2026 — AND MOUNT STREET NEIGHBOURHOOD ARTS FESTIVAL

For the third consecutive year, the Mount Street Neighbourhood Arts Festival brings its eccentric-chic mix of visual arts, literature, fashion, and food to the iconic London district through pop-ups, designer residencies, live talks, and workshops.

The Regent’s Park, October 15-18 (Frieze London and Frieze Masters). Various locations across Mount Street Neighbourhood, October 12-17 (Mount Street Neighbourhood Arts Festival)

October in London wouldn’t be half as frenetic without global art platform Frieze putting up a three-part show across Frieze London, Frieze Masters (both October 14-18), and Frieze Sculpture (through November 1). Now in its 24th edition, the appointment, hosted on the grounds of Regent’s Park, will see ambitious solo presentations, from Dalton Paula at Lisson and Albert Oehlen at Gagosian to Marina Perez Simão at Pace, alongside a debuting section examining how artists respond to mass culture, consumer goods, and the information flows of mass media, The Code Universe, and regulars like Focus and Artist-to-Artist. At Frieze Masters, the emphasis shifts towards rediscovery with Anthony van Dyck’s Portrait of a Nobleman, a 26th-Dynasty bronze of Ptah, and Ampe Kempkes’s Queering Modernism, unveiling a manifold archive of queer visual histories.
