Guts gallery open permanent art space

Guts Gallery have announced the opening of a permanent art space in Hackney.

‘I am so excited to announce the opening of our permanent Guts Gallery HQ exhibition space, which is a massive step forward for Guts Gallery and our mission. I can’t thank our supporters, artists and collectors enough. Post pandemic, renting nomadically, became more expensive than renting a permanent space. I decided to move to a permanent gallery space to provide stability for the artists we work with and the Guts team. As well as decreasing our carbon emission by using less transportation.’

 

Ellie Pennick, Director of Guts Gallery

Guts Gallery HQ Unit 2 Sidings House, 10 Andre Street Hackney, London, E8 2AA Opening Times: Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 6pm gutsgallery.co.uk

About

Guts Gallery was founded to ensure that those from underrepresented backgrounds could have their own voices heard, instead of being spoken for by those already in power. With that in mind, Guts refuses to “represent” its artists; we have no intention of “speaking for (somebody)”, especially when our own backgrounds don’t give us insight into their personal experiences, and they have powerful, clear voices to speak for themselves. Instead, Guts “champions” its artists, providing a safe space for opportunity, advice, and support through “vigorous support and defence of their cause.” When trying to be a force for change, we must all ask ourselves, do you want to uphold traditional views or models, or join in with change? We are firm believers that artists should be at the center of the art world, not gallerists, and this is a first step in changing that status quo.
