Lisson, The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, Palmer Gallery, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art & The Showroom announce establishment of new collaboration.
Lisson Grove Galleries, a new initiative led by Lisson Gallery, The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, Palmer Gallery, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art and The Showroom will launch during London Gallery Weekend this June, shining a spotlight on Lisson Grove’s longstanding creative community and cultural identity.
This new collaboration brings together a mix of commercial galleries and non-profit arts spaces with the shared aim of celebrating and promoting one of London’s lesser-known yet historically significant arts districts.
The initiative seeks to support artistic activity across multiple disciplines, from emerging talent to internationally recognised practitioners, while encouraging deeper public engagement with the local arts scene. Through a coordinated programme of events throughout the year, the collective will host artist talks, curator-led tours, breakfasts, BBQs and late openings across the participating venues.
Lisson Grove Galleries will officially launch during London Gallery Weekend 2026, with a series of events taking place across the participating spaces on Friday 5 June.
