History of the Works on Paper Fair

The Works on Paper Fair started life as the Watercolours & Drawings Fair in 1999, when it was held at the Park Lane Hotel in Piccadilly, which had for many years before that been the venue of the World of Watercolours and Drawings.

The fair was held at the Royal Academy of Art's 6 Burlington Gardens venue, and then in galleries within the Science Museum.

​In 2016 the fair moved to use the entire Royal Geographical Society building in Exhibition Road, where we have a long term commitment.
