Chisenhale Gallery was founded by artists. The same experimental vision and spirit of possibility that changed an empty veneer factory and brewery warehouse into an art gallery guides our work today. Our mission is to commission new works of art through supporting artists at every stage of project development, from concept to completion. As a non-profit organisation, Chisenhale Gallery champions the ambitious, the challenging and the innovative from living artists and collaborates locally, nationally and internationally. We are committed to connecting our audiences to the energy and ideas of an ever-expanding creative community. Building on this rich and varied history, we continue to place artists at the centre of everything we do.

Located in a dynamic and creative residential neighbourhood in the heart of London’s East End, where many cultures converge, Chisenhale Gallery is an evolving space for experimentation, transformed by each artist’s commission. This building is home to a creative community spanning Chisenhale Gallery, Chisenhale Dance Space and Chisenhale Studios. 

Chisenhale Gallery is a registered charity, part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio. We fundraise for 100% of the artistic programme through trusts, foundations and individuals. You can support Chisenhale Gallery by making a donation. Please visit our Support web page to find out about ways you can contribute to Chisenhale Gallery. All of our exhibitions are free.
