Affordable Art Fair Battersea March 2026

Art & Horse Racing Galloped into the Battersea Affordable Art Fair

A Heartfelt Thank You to Battersea

The dust has settled, the stands are packed away, and the team at Art & Horse Racing is heading back to Newmarket with tired feet but very full hearts. Our debut at the Affordable Art Fair Battersea Spring was nothing short of extraordinary.

For five days, we had the privilege of bringing a slice of Saint Wendred’s Racing Yard to the heart of London. To everyone who stopped by our stand, chatted with us about the intersection of horseracing and contemporary art, or took home a new piece to love - thank you.

A Celebration of "Art That Makes You Feel Good"

We curated our Battersea collection with a simple goal: to showcase work that uplifts the spirit. The response from the Londoners was overwhelming.

The Debut Success: It was a joy to see the reaction to Giacomo Mazzari’s fair debut. His sophisticated, musical compositions resonated deeply with visitors looking for that perfect balance of structure and serenity.
Spring Vibes: Annie Mitra’s Spring Awakening and her vibrant use of blue served as the perfect centerpiece for the week, capturing the exact energy of a London spring.
Artist Spotlight: A Sensation for Kayla Martell: We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate a standout week for artist Kayla Martell. Her evocative, moment-filled paintings were a magnet for visitors, and we are proud to announce that five of Kayla’s original works found new homes during the fair.
Kayla captures the beauty of every day life; the raw energy and fluid grace of her subjects clearly resonated with the London crowd. Seeing her work transition from our Newmarket stables to the walls of London collectors was a true highlight of the event. If you missed out on her pieces at the fair, you can view her remaining collection here on our website.
International Women’s Day: Closing the fair on Sunday, March 8th, was particularly poignant. As a female-led gallery founded by a vet and trainer in the racing world, celebrating the incredible women artists in our stable was the perfect way to cross the finish line.
