London galleries are banding together for the first London Gallery Weekend set to run from Friday, June 4 to Sunday, June 6. Organised into three days, 139 of the city’s commercial institutions will open new exhibitions and host (socially distanced) tours to get the city’s public to re-engage with art.
“First and foremost we want this to be a celebration of the diversity of London s gallery landscape,” says Jeremy Epstein, the co-founder of the Fitzrovia gallery Edel Assanti and the driver behind the initiative.
“London is hard to parallel that when you look through our list of participants. Even if you consider yourself very familiar with London s gallery landscape, there s many new faces that have emerged in the last couple of years, and which are running really ambitious programmes.
