The Griffin Gallery is a beautiful new exhibition space on the ground floor of the contemporary Studio Building in West London. The gallery comprises 60 metres of white wall space with an adjoining Tea Room, which we use for events, seminars and private views.
Our aim is to support the artistic community of London, creating a space for discussion about contemporary art and showcasing the very best of national and international talent. The gallery exhibition programme offers a platform for emerging as well as established artists, and we offer the use of our facilities for workshops, seminars and artist talks to create a dialogue around the artwork on display.
In addition, the Griffin Gallery hosts a series of workshops and seminars for artists and promotes an environment of creativity and learning. Within the Studio Building and above the Griffin Gallery are two fully equipped artists’ studios available for short and longer term residencies, and adjoining the studios is the Innovation and Development Laboratory where new artists’ materials are developed.
The Griffin Gallery plays host to the annual Griffin Art Prize, with the selected artist benefiting from a long term residency, all materials and a solo show – see Griffin Art Prize page for more information.
