Sluice aims to provide an alternative gauge for the current of contemporary art by showcasing non-profit artist-run galleries and projects from the UK and beyond. In 2011 the debut Sluice Art Fair acted as a forum for the most exciting, challenging and innovative British and international art being made today.

The 2012 edition of Sluice art fair will manifest itself as a publication and an exhibition in which all of the work will be auctioned. The whole event will function as a fundraiser for Sluice art fair 2013. The Sluice publication will be launched on the evening the auction draws to a close on the 24th October at HANMI GALLERY in Fitzrovia, London.
