From hosting Charli XCX’s Brat album launch party to spearheading Frieze Week exhibition Remembrance of Things Future alongside Olivia Stutz Design – innovative young gallerist Sarah Kravitz continues another trailblazing year with her travelling kiosk art gallery FAWW Gallery (Forget About White Walls) dedicated to all things print.
Bringing approachable, affordable, inspiring art to everyday Londoners.
“With prices starting at £55 and averaging cheaper than a pair of Doc Martens it probably makes us the cheapest gallery in London, but that’s exactly our point! With the cost of living going up, who’s got money to spend on good art?”
– Sarah Kravitz
When Sarah Kravitz, now 30, started her art career, she described herself as a “penniless teenage mum.” An art history scholarship from Goldsmiths, University of London gave Kravitz a much-needed financial prize that she used to get her start in the art world.
Starting as a little market stall in Brick Lane, this soon turned into two permanent London locations, and Kravitz representing over 20 international independent studios and artists spanning several continents. Kravitz describes her first stall as being full of “wild Eastern bloc artists” and prints of “naked witches and masturbating women.” Those prints went on to be best-sellers for Kravitz’s disruptive gallery not just in London but throughout Europe.
Today, Sarah Kravitz breaks down the barriers she faced in the London-centric art scene for others. Showing fiercely independent artists from around the world in her travelling kiosk art gallery FAWW Gallery – currently stationed for the winter in Market Street, Spitalfields.
Powered by a team of creative women, FAWW Gallery is a leader in the screen print community. The kiosk hosts digital art, unique screen prints, and special editions. Political, music-inspired, abstract, figurative, avant-garde, and surrealist art from across the globe all finds a home in Sarah Kravitz’s kiosk gallery. Every print is imported from its country of origin to maintain its authenticity.
Collectors who I have known for years who began collecting prints with me six years ago as 23-year-old graduates have transitioned to more ambitious purchases from Sarah Kravitz Gallery. Which demonstrates a possibility to create a new type of collector that is independent of the class-orientated market which currently dominates the art world.

At just thirty, and as a single mother without the financial backing many Londongallerists benefit from, Sarah Kravitz’s eye for talent and inventive business mindset speaks for itself–paving the way for a new type of collector, gallery and art community that breaks free of the UK art market’s class constraints. Mixing an inclusive, non-elitist approach that ElephantMagazinepraises for“using gallery space as a community-building platform” with an unwavering commitment to displaying world-class art.
