SW1 Gallery
The SW1 Gallery has been born out of the close working relationship between Westminster City Council and the developer, Land Securities. The City Council has always been keen to encourage connections between the arts and the South Westminster community and was aware that the southern area of the borough had limited facilities for exhibiting art. With this in mind, they felt that a gallery would be an invaluable addition to Cardinal Place and a wonderful resource for the whole area.
The SW1 Gallery endeavours to provide interesting, enjoyable and exciting exhibitions and events for the local community, the large numbers of people who work in the area and the even greater numbers who visit.
The exhibitions are always different, rejecting any idea of a single gallery style but rather offering artwork that is constantly interesting and varied. Events are organised around the exhibitions to augment the shows and give visitors a greater understanding of how and why art is made. Demonstrations, lectures, artist led tours and school workshops are part of the calendar as are recitals, book readings and musical evenings.
