The Graduate Art Show 2022 

​

The Graduate Art Show was Launched early in 2022 to continue the work of its predecessor. FloatArt. 

​

FloatArt London first began in South London established by Dr Anand Saggar. a founder of the project. gallery owner and collector. The aim was to create a platform to showcase the nation's emerging Art graduates. 

​

Young graduate artists are at a difficult stage in their careers. Leaving the sheltered world of the college and faced with the realities of the Art Market for the first time. To fill this gap. Anand and Victoria Charlton have worked to create a unique opportunity to showcase and develop. a new and exciting platform for contemporary artists. These past two years have been even more difficult because of the pandemic that has affected us all. Hopefully the annual show will give the graduates the support they need. now and in the future. 

​

The Graduate Art Show is fortunate to receive the support of Georgina Dillon. owner of the Zari Gallery and Nick Woolff. of the Woolff Gallery. They are both generously donating their time and central London space to host the show.

She has promoted performances of dance. opera . music. collections of museums and solo artists internationally.
