First Thursday tonight then, our 30th in a row down the middle of the street, here’s some words that appeared on the Organ pages yesterday… twenty-nine and counting, this Thursday February 6th will be the 30th First Thursday event in a row at Cultivate. Cultivate Evolved (as the gallery is now known), is an artist-run…
EIGHT PLUS TWO: THE IN-HOUSE ARTISTS It was going to be nine plus one, we settled on eight plus two; eight in house artists, and two evolving guest spaces… Cultivate has always been about enabling new art and artists to flow, it is important that the eight of us a joined by a flow of…
Our second guest artist of 2014 will join us for two weeks starting on Wednesday evening. London-based Russian-born painter PHILIP FIRSOV takes over one of out two guest spaces at CULTIVATE EVOLVED from Wednesday 15th January, his rather rich old school paintings will be occupying our wall until January 29th. The eight permanent in-house artists…
Right now our guest space at Cultivate Evolved is occupied by one large piece of work from JULIE CAVES. Originally from the Southern part of the United States, Julie Caves is a rather bold contemporary artist, currently living and working in North East London. You can find Julie’s rather refreshing yellow work on our wall…

Well First Thursday week and everything that First Thursday brings, is upon us once more. And as we’ve said before, do like the buzz that flows up and down the street as everyone gets ready – new shows installed, art (and alcohol) being delivered, frantic hangs and excited artists (if you can’t get excited…
ART IS FOR FRIDAY… and every other day. “Why do you ruin your paintings? They’re all ruined, you vandalise your own paintings, so silly” was my favourite comment today. Second week of the ART IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS show and the walls are evolving as pieces are sold and new art and…
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CULTIVATE SPACE NEXT? AN ART CHUTE? AN ART SHOOT? WELCOME TO THE ART CHUTE…. Well I wrote a long-ass piece about the idea of an “art chute” and how to evolve the current Cultivate space into some kind of permanent collective base where a small group of committed pro-active artists work,…
Tuesday bloody Tuesday, still considering the notions of art chutes and why London-based artists don’t seem to want to get seriously involved in committed pro-active artist-run spaces. Said all this before though, and this week I really am enjoying the Katrine Storebo paintings we currently have in the gallery as part of the Art Is…
