Those are some Richard Amor paintings up there, more on Richard in a moment. You’re right, 2025 was way way too quiet in terms of Cultivate, long gone are the maximalist days of Vyner Street now, gone are the days when East London was alive with the possibilities offered by empty or unwanted buildings, where…

And the Madeleine Strindberg exhibition is now open, it opened online last night to good numbers and a more than healthy response. We like doing these on-line shows, they work. Once again the exhibition is hosted on our sister website Organ, here comes the link – Madeleine Strindberg – A Solo Show – An online…
Where were we? We asked that already didn’t we? Time to come out of hibernation? Spin around, a little bit more? Well why not, the Mixtape shows and the online exhibitions aren’t broken so nothing really needs fixing. Time to gather around the tips of bulbs and the shapes of things to come. You know…
Where were we? Time to come out of hibernation? Spin around, a little bit more? Well why not, the Mixtape shows and the online exhibitions aren’t broken so nothing really needs fixing, and well, it must work, we see others trying to do it, impersonation is flattery and the more the merrier. Time for another…

Black Subjective will open next weekend, a solo show from London-based painter Yasmin Grant and her very powerful paintings built with lusciously painted golds, rich dark browns and yellows, deep dark blues that are almost but not quite the blackest of black… Yasmin is an artist we’ve been covering and featuring regularly over on the…
And the latest online Mixtape group show is open. Onc again hosted on the Organ magazine website, here’s the link… Cultivate presents Mixtape No.8 – an online art exhibition… Welcome to Mixtape No.8, once again, just like last time, we’ll let the art do the walking and most of the talking first rather than clutter the…

We did explain the idea (and the history) behind the Three x Three exhibitions a couple of days ago, the online shows are just one of many balls we are trying to keep in air right now. Today we have the names of the three artists involved in our latest Three x Three show, three…
About the Three x Three exhibitions Back in the early days of Cultivate, back a dozen or so years ago, we ran a series of shows called “Three x Three” where we gave one of the three gallery walls to an artist, three artists sharing a wall each in the gallery. I think we did…
A Big big thanks to everyone who came along, good to see so many familiar faces and to meet a few new ones. We do love the engage that takes place with the one and only Art Car Boot Fair The Live version of the Art Car Boot Fair may be done and dusted for…
Was that the very very (very) last day of Summer just then? Just there, in the square in Kings Cross? At the Art Car Boot Fair in the last bits of sun? Hopefully not but that was yesterday and our thoughts are now turning to more online things (alongside other things). Thing is, we like…
Where were we? Raging against various clubs, raging against each other about some of it, these Cultivate shows may appear serene but they do some with debate. We enjoyed Crystal Palace, the train companies did their best to make things difficult but we enjoyed Free The Gallery, especially the Saturday morning, when we had lots…
