Lisson, The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, Palmer Gallery, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art & The Showroom announce establishment of new collaboration: Lisson Grove Galleries

26 May 2026

The Lisson Grove Galleries initiative is a group of non-profit and commercial arts spaces in the Lisson Grove area of London – Lisson, The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art, Palmer Gallery and The Showroom – coming together with the shared aim of celebrating and foregrounding the diverse and distinctive culture of Lisson Grove and its longstanding cultural presence within the city. The initiative also 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.
