artFix founder George Neris believes the store can truly help make the arts inclusive for everyone, and that art can
encapsulate a wide range of things. He says, “Following the big success of the Danish Film Festival, which we
extended for another weekend, and our Art Battle, which is now the first of a regular weekly event, I am pleased to
announce a busy week ahead at artFix. With live music, paintings and a feminist magazine launch, there is really
something for everyone here.”

arts fun, affordable and accessible to anyone at any time. We recently opened in December and our

I am enquiring as to whether this is something you would be interested in finding out more about, and
would like to invite you to our events happening this week. Attached below is our latest press release
with details about all upcoming events. On Thursday we are hosting our first Art Battle, as a
photographer and a painter create unique artworks inspired by a live model in front of the audience.
Also, from Friday to Sunday, we are extending our Danish Film Festival with five extra film screenings,
all completely free.
You can find our store at 27 Peter Street, London, W1F 0AJ. If you would like any more information,
