An art fair with a difference (i.e. it’s non-profit) is due to launch this weekend (10-11 September) in the depths of West Sussex. The setting is Whithurst Park, a palatial neo-Jacobean residence, with works on show in the house and grounds by more than 50 established and emerging artists including Jacob Wolff and Kitty Shepherd. Etchings by Queen Victoria dating from the early 1840s, which once belonged to Georgiana, Duchess of Sutherland, the Queen’s lady-in-waiting (1806-68), should please arty royalists (the works will be available through Belgravia Gallery, London). Thirty per cent of sale proceeds go towards the Maggie’s Centres charity (drop-in spaces for cancer patients built in the grounds of NHS hospitals). The first edition of the Whithurst Park Art Fair is backed by a host of high-profile supporters, including the Courtauld Institute of Art and Pallant House Gallery.
