London’s West End galleries mark the re-opening of the art world with a special spring edition of The Mayfair Art Weekend Gallery HOP! on 23 April organised to re-engage audiences with art and culture in real life following months of digital fatigue. Over 30 galleries across Mayfair and the surrounding areas of Soho, Fitzrovia, St James’s and Marylebone will open until 8pm for visitors to ‘hop’ from gallery to gallery during the evening.
Mayfair Art Weekend events have been a regular fixture in the art world calendar since 2014 and are enjoyed by art devotees, collectors, students, tourists and ‘just curious’ visitors alike. They offer a great opportunity to visit exhibitions in an informal way and meet fellow ‘hoppers’ following a map going from gallery to gallery – at a safe distance these days of course.
