Visual arts - Galleries

Portman Gallery

Address Portman Place, London, E2 0PX
Email portmangallery@gmail.com
Web www.portman-gallery.org

Exhibition opening hours: Thu - Fri 4 – 6 (Private views happen on Thursdays 4-8)

Portman Gallery is a project that bridges the world of education and that of contemporary art, but does it the other way around: instead of inviting classes into the gallery, here the gallery exists within the school site. The central belief informing the setting up of the gallery is that contemporary visual art is not simply something which needs to be explained to the uninitiated; in fact it can play a much more fundamental educational role. Good art is able to disrupt habits of thought, and initiate a questioning approach to important issues. As an activity art is a method which involves approaching the world in an intelligent and critical way.

There will be an opportunity for artists to run workshops in conjunction with the art department.

Area Weavers, Bethnal Green North, Mile End & Globe Town / LAP 1
