About
About. FloatArt London is an organisation supported by the National Funding Scheme, founded by two passionate art lovers and long-time supporters of graduate artists. Davide Mengoli, a former Director and founder of GX Gallery and Dr Anand Saggar, a leading clinical geneticist and Chair of the Arts Committee at St George’s Hospital. Both founders of FloatArt London are passionate about providing graduate artists with the support and advice they need as they leave university and enter into the professional art world.
Location. Returning in its third year, FloatArt London is once again showcasing the work of selected graduate artists in Bargehouse, The Oxo Tower Wharf.

Other Benefits. A programme of seminars and talks throughout the four day event. The programme, delivered by experienced artists and successful business people, will give artists direction and career advice. Sponsors such as Riccardo Zacconi, the founder of King Digital Entertainment, will be among the speakers.
