Jo has the Thursday Theme: songs relating to art, in celebration of the London Art Fair.

Jo has the Thursday Theme: songs relating to Art, in celebration of the London Art Fair.

Launched in 1989 with just 26 galleries, the London Art Fair has now grown into the largest of its kind, with over 100 galleries and 20,000 visitors each year. It’s founded on the belief that great art provides a lens to see the world through, and is for anyone - from the newly curious to the connoisseurs!

This year the fair is taking place between 18th and 22nd of January, and we want to celebrate it!

So whether it’s a song connected to a particular style, artist or piece, send all your suggestions for art related songs to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk
