Celebrating Locke's artistic community.

This year’s Frieze London (11-15th October) is not only the 20th anniversary but is also being hailed as the most international edition yet. The city comes alive with exhibitions, shows and galleries honing in on a number of themes such as art within the community and spaces, galleries under fifteen years old. Highlighting people and places that give space to up-and-coming artists within the London and international community a space to show their works.

At Locke we are passionate about offering our social spaces and properties to creatives within the community. In each property you’ll find a Creative in Residence, using the spaces to both create and showcase their work. As with Frieze, we believe in the ‘spirit of collaboration’ to see the artists and creatives we have in our community shine and offer our guests a look into the local creative scene.
