Stone Island has entered a multi-year global partnership with Frieze, commencing at Frieze London 2023, the twentieth anniversary of one of the world’s most influential art fairs. Stone Island is the Official Partner of Focus, the section dedicated to younger galleries at all of Frieze’s contemporary art fairs – London, Los Angeles, New York and Seoul.

Stone Island offers each of the participating galleries a bursary, equivalent of up to 30% of each exhibitor’s stand fee. The support aids the chosen emerging galleries in Focus, each founded twelve years ago or less, to participate in the fairs.

The Focus section is a crucial component of Frieze, ensuring that young galleries get to show their artists alongside some of the world’s most established gallerists. Focus creates a platform for emerging artists across generations, cultures and continents.

This year features the works of Adam Farah-Saad at Public, Josefine Reisch at Galerie Noah Klink, Jordan Strafer at Hot Wheels and Heidi and Leon Xu at Helena Anrather.

Stone Island is also Official Partner of Frieze 91, the global membership programme that provides access to the communities and art shaping contemporary culture.
