The full line up of artists for Nothing is Square Pt.2 is now confirmed. We’re rather excited to have 37 artists taking part and we expect to have around 130 identically sized pieces of art, all on canvas, all 20cm x 20cm, all hung is a very regimental manner on the three walls of the…
What are we doing then? Well, kicking off at the end of February, Thursday evening February 27th to be exact, with the Nothing in Square Pt.2 show, we have three gallery shows happening in March. The three shows will take up the whole of March and make up the fourth and almost certainly final set…
Where were we? Halfway through putting together three shows and preparing for the fourth and almost certainly final month-long Cultivate Columbia Road takeover, Shipton Street Gallery closes for at least a year and probably forever once we finish our Cultivate residency in March. We already have our strictly regimented grid-like very square opening two week…

The gallery, in a former greengrocer’s shop by Columbia Road, the Flower Market and everything that that involves and this time the…
These days, as you probably know, Cultivate in nomadic, you might say homeless, in some ways we kind of like it like that, we like popping up in different places and spaces, we like the excitement of different buildings, different streets, we might one day put down roots again but for now, while we…
