Lisson Grove Galleries is a new initiative of non-profit and commercial arts spaces in The Showroom’s neighbourhood of Lisson Grove, who are coming together with the shared aim of celebrating and foregrounding the diverse and distinctive culture of our local area and its longstanding cultural presence within London.

Participating galleries: The Showroom, Lisson Gallery, The Bomb Factory Foundation, Palmer Gallery and Patrick Heide Contemporary Art

The initiative seeks to strengthen and support ongoing artistic activity – both emerging and established, as well as multi-disciplinary, across the multiple spaces – and to provide unique experiences to allow a deeper engagement with audiences both local and city-wide.

The collective will programme a coordinated series of inclusive events throughout the year, ranging from artist talks and curator-led tours to breakfasts, BBQs and late openings, initially launching during London Gallery Weekend 2026.

For the launch and coinciding with the last weekend of Ângela Ferreira: Slits are Girls we invite you to join us for a tour of Slits are Girls with Andrew Renton and introduction to Mandy El-Sayegh’s mural: This is a Sign: Notes on Assembly at 1pm on Friday 5 June. More details HERE
