Gasworks is a non-profit contemporary visual art organisation working at the intersection between UK and international practices and debates. We provide studios for London-based artists; commission emerging and mid-career UK-based and international artists to present their first major exhibitions in the UK; and host an international residencies programme, offering opportunities for artists worldwide to research and develop new work in London. All programmes are accompanied by events and participatory workshops that engage audiences directly with artists and their work.
Over the last 30 years Gasworks has worked with over 600 artists from 80 countries around the world. Many of our alumni have gone on to exhibit at major institutions and art events and have received nominations for – or won – prestigious awards including the Turner Prize, Absolut Award and Pinchuk Art Prize. Alumni include Yinka Shonibare, Goshka Macuga, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Song Dong, Hassan Khan, Alexandre da Cunha, Renata Lucas and many more.
Gasworks is also the hub of the Triangle Network, an international network of over twenty arts organisations, that develops and facilitates artists’ residencies and workshops as well as peer-to-peer exchanges.
