South London Gallery First To Announce Lengthy Closure

South London Gallery

The South London Gallery, a popular, public, cultural oasis has decided to close until further notice. This is the first, with many to follow in response to increasing concerns relating to the spread of COVID-19 (or Coronavirus). The gallery states on their website, “In order to protect the health and wellbeing of our staff, partners and visitors, the South London Gallery has taken the decision to close as of 6pm on Saturday 14 March until further notice.

Whilst our buildings are closed and education programmes suspended, our work continues and digital channels remain open to ensure our audiences are kept up to date. Please note that office hours are 10am–6pm, Monday – Friday although all staff will be working remotely. For general enquiries please email mail@southlondongallery.org If you have booked a ticket to, or are planning to attend an event at the SLG then please contact on mail@southlondongallery.org

The South London Gallery (SLG) was established on its current site in 1891 by philanthropist William Rossiter to ‘bring art to the people of south London’. Today the gallery comprises its original site at 65 Peckham Road; the Fire Station (which opened to the public in September 2018); Art Block, a space for local children and families on Sceaux Gardens estate and an artist-designed garden. The year-round exhibitions programme showcases the best in international contemporary art, complemented by an events programme for people of all ages and interests.

The Gallery’s emphasis is on presenting new work by British and international artists, often by those who have rarely or never had a solo show in a London institution. Group shows bring together works by established and lesser-known British and international artists, whilst an ongoing residency programme provides opportunities for artists to develop new work and exhibit at the SLG.

Providing opportunities for learning and participation is at the heart of the Gallery’s purpose, and thousands of children, young people and adults take part in an extensive programme of activities. This includes a peer-led young people’s forum and website, www.recreativeuk.com; free family workshops every Sunday; Art Block, a dedicated creative space for children on Sceaux Gardens housing estate; artist-led projects and commissions on other local estates; ongoing provision for school visits; and a programme funded by BBC Children in Need for looked-after children.
