1 Poultry, City of London,3 x free exhibition spaces

About the Open Call

Hypha Studios is launching a new gallery hub at 1 Poultry, City of London, offering three free exhibition spaces to artists and curators, starting Frieze Week 2025. This unique opportunity allows exhibitions in a postmodern building by James Stirling. Gallery 1 & 3 are for rotating contemporary curated exhibitions, while Gallery 2, in collaboration with recessed.space, seeks projects from architects or artists engaging with the built environment or the building's history. Spaces (330 sqm, 130 sqm, 150 sqm) are awarded for free, in exchange for public-facing events (workshops, talks, etc.) alongside the exhibition. Priority is given to those who cannot afford exhibition or studio space. The units will be presented as conventional galleries. The space must be used a minimum of four days a week with agreed public opening hours.

What is Offered

Three free exhibition spaces (330 sqm, 130 sqm, 150 sqm) for organizing exhibitions. Opportunity to host public-facing events (workshops, talks) alongside the exhibition.
