Projekt 26 Presents ‘Projekt Mkt’ 3 Day Pop-Up

posted by Robyn Pitts February 23, 2023

The UK’s biggest Vintage Poster Market is returning to Peckham from Friday 28th through to Sunday 30th April 2023 with 1000s of original vintage posters and prints, from just £10! The lovingly curated event was started by Harriet Williams and Sylwia Newman of Projekt 26 in May 2021, and takes place at The Copeland Gallery in Peckham, London SE15. This will be the fifth outing of Projekt Mkt which is now a twice yearly event.

There is no better place to shop for affordable and sustainable art. The 3 day pop-up is an opportunity to bring your walls to life with a soulful and sustainable art medium, providing the chance for art and culture lovers to shop from leading independent vintage poster traders under one roof. In Spring 2023 there will be ten vintage poster dealers – each with their own distinct specialism and collection – and a bespoke framer. Dealers confirmed so far include; Projekt 26, Orson and Welles, Twentieth Century Prints, Chaleureuse, Cool Walls, Room 12A, Travel on Paper, Kiki Werth, Poptique, and FRMD framers.

Visitors can browse and shop thousands of original mid-century prints and posters – starting from just £10 for bargain hunters to rare and collectible investment pieces. There will be iconic pop, rock, and film classics alongside Soviet era Communist posters, quirky French factory health & safety posters, art exhibition posters, and the bold wry wit of the Polish School of Posters, as well as many more curated vintage finds.

All posters are authentic originals, which gives them a unique character and appeal. Digital printing just can’t compete with the charming imperfection of offset lithography on beautiful matte paper, with its rich vibrant colours. Even the posters’ flaws have their own appeal for the stories they tell!

Entry is £2, accompanied under 16s go free, four-legged friends are welcome. Friday 28 Apr – 2-8pm, Saturday 29 Apr – 10-6pm, Sunday 30 Apr – 10-5pm.
