Kensington & Chelsea Art weekend

Applications Open until 31 May 2018

July 27 - 29, 2018 Celebrating Cultural Legacy of Kensington and Chelsea

Friday 10am-9pm

Sat/Sun 10am-6pm

The borough of Kensington & Chelsea has an artistic heritage that encompasses some of the best and brightest creative names. From South Kensington’s museums in Exhibition Road to the bustle of King’s Road; from the urban bohemia of Notting Hill to the modern elegance of the Design Museum, a journey through Kensington & Chelsea is a journey through history. The project is celebrating the rich heritage of the borough by opening doors to local creative spaces along with leading organisations in the area to facilitate further public engagement in the local culture. In total, 50 events are planned across galleries, public spaces, museums and cultural institutions; Red Bus ‘Hop on/Off’ Gallery tours connecting North and South Kensington, a lecture series and podcasts by After Nyne Magazine, curator talks & debates and temporary public art installations. A leading platform for collecting and discovering art, Artsy has joined the project as a partner.

  Every participating gallery and venue will be provided a free listing on Artsy.net for their event, exhibition or project as part of Kensington & Chelsea Art Weekend. Artsy’s mission is to make all the world’s art accessible to anyone with an Internet connection – including in its reach the cultural projects such as the Venice Biennale, The Armory Show and Basel. With an online audience of 45 million visits to date and 2.5 million visits per month, the project stands to reach a global audience of more than 190 plus countries. Full programme of events will be announced in June 2018. For regular updates please join the mailing list by subscribing to info@kensingtonartweekend.com
