  • 155A Gallery

     

    Showcasing contemporary paintings and drawings, and occasionally sculpture,  155A Gallery presents themed exhibitions alongside an evolving collection of artworks. Exhibitions are drawn from emerging and well established artists, both from the UK and Internationally. Works shown are of a quieter nature, and generally focused on more formal elements of an artist's practice.

     

    Replacing the traditional ‘white box’ gallery model with an architectural-domestic setting, the gallery is inspired by dynamic spaces such as Kettle’s Yard and Pallant House.The Victorian building is live/work status, and formally a bakery, restored  by a previous owner using reclaimed interior elements.  It is south facing and blessed with lots of natural daylight. 

     

     For 2026, the gallery will be working on selective projects with artists, curators and fellow galleries, allowing an opportunity for the space to be engaged in a variety of creative dialogues.

     

    155A Gallery is located on Lordship Lane (off Bawdale Road) in East Dulwich, SE22 London, close to Camberwell and many creative communities.
