By popular demand, The Living Room is back!

This January, Art Friend returns to the much-loved Columbia Road, bringing with it the same welcoming attitude. In true Art Friend style, we will once again transform the space into a vibrant living room, allowing you to experience the art as you would in your own home rather than an empty, white-walled space. With that comes a sense of comfort, and we invite you to stay for a while - have a drink, if you fancy.

Curated by Art Friend, the exhibition brings together an eclectic mix of joyful, unique pieces, with a little something for everyone. This time around, you can expect Paraguayan-influenced textures, brutalist architecture, random colourful still lifes, weird and wonderful animals, and atmospheric cyanotypes. There will be original, affordable artworks across a range of price points, so there truly is something for everyone.

Featured artists include Adam Bartlett, Fujiko Rose, Tabby Booth, Claud, Craig Keenan, Adam Bartlett, Fei Alexeli, Hello Marine and Mathilda Mai, alongside Anaïk Crozon, who is brand new to Art Friend.

So come join us at Art Friend Gallery this January, rediscover affordable contemporary art in a space that feels relaxed, inclusive, and refreshingly unpretentious.

Key dates:

• Opening Night: Thursday 8th January, 5–8.30pm
• Usual Hours: Tues – Sat, 9am – 6pm; Sun, 8am – 6pm (extra hours available on request)

So, ditch the grey skies, pop in, and make yourself at home in The Living Room.
