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…
We’re waking up with Spring, the Madeleine Strindberg on-line exhibition has just opened, the next Mixtape show is on the way in a couple of weeks, and we’re working on a number of other things that we’re keeping under our hats right now, and talking of right now… Cultivate presents: Sean Worrall, #43Leaves, 43 pieces…
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…
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.

Once again most of the artists will be directly invited but the open call element and hearing from artists we don’t know yet (or haven’t worked with for a bit) is very important. We’d like to hear…
And the exhibition is open – Cultivate presents Three x Three (Part Five) – an online art exhibition featuring Melike, Mark Burrell and Sofia Martins Gray. here’s the link This, we do believe, is the twenty-third carefully curated on-line show from Cultivate and something like 178th Cultivate exhibition or event in the now eleven year…

And so the 21st Cultivate on-line show opened 24 hours ago, it does kind of feel like online shows is all we do now, but we really are working on other things behind the scenes here and anyway, we like the way these on-line shows go, we like the way they reach out around the…
