October Gallery 

October Gallery Trust was founded in 1979 and is supported by sales of art, rental of the Gallery’s unique facilities, grants from various funding bodies and the active support of dedicated artists, musicians, writers and many friends from around the world.  The Gallery’s Education Department is inclusive of all ages from under 5’s to PGCE student and delivers a wide range of provision, see October Gallery Education.

October Gallery has been instrumental in bringing to worldwide attention many of the world’s leading international artists, including El Anatsui, Romuald Hazoumè, Nnenna Okore, Laila Shawa, Rachid Koraïchi and Kenji Yoshida. By looking beyond a Western canon, the Gallery was one of the first galleries in the UK to introduce the very best in contemporary art from around the world. It has nurtured and promoted extraordinary artists from a multitude of cultures, decades before it became common practice.

October Gallery Trust maintains a cultural hub in central London, which over the last four decades has become a nexus for poets, writers, intellectuals and artists, hosting talks, performances and ecological collaborations, see www.octobergallery.co.uk/events

The rich diversity of art presented is an inspiration to collectors and enthusiasts. Institutions such as the Tate and the British Museum, London; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf, Germany; Neue Galerie, Kassel, Germany; Setagagya Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan have all collected works from October Gallery.
