Palmer Gallery are delighted to announce the formation of Lisson Grove Galleries, a collaborative group of non-profit and commercial arts spaces in the Lisson Grove area of London. Palmer Gallery, Lisson Gallery, The Bomb Factory, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art, and The Showroom are 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 - 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 the Friday of London Gallery Weekend 2026.
