Frieze Kickoff: An Art-Filled Afternoon in Marylebone
Soirée Committiéer
15 October 2025
To celebrate Frieze Week, we gathered an exciting group of women in design and the arts for a private tour at Incubator – the Chiltern Street gallery championing emerging artists – followed by a spirited lunch at The Hart.
Co-hosted by Melissa Morris, Alison Ross Green, Leonie Mir, and Silka Rittson Thomas.
We kicked off Frieze festivities at Incubator Gallery, where Founding Director Angelica Jopling led guests on a tour of Woodwind, a new exhibition of works by the German painter Seraphina Mutscheller.

Following the tour, guests gathered for lunch at The Hart, a new restaurant on Chiltern Street from the celebrated team behind The Pelican and The Fat Badger.
The tables were decorated with verdant florals by Silka Rittson Thomas, displayed in a collection of colorful, centuries-old Syrian glass vessels from Tarquin Bilgen. Each place setting included a passport-sized Frieze London Guide and personalised Métier letter charms for guests.
