Art Friend Gallery

Art Friend is a pop up gallery that throws art jargon out the window and welcomes everyone through its doors. Founded in 2021 by female gallerist Shona Bland, it’s an inclusive, non-conventional space where art is accessible, inviting, and fun – no stuffy vibes. The gallery works with a variety of artists, nurturing emerging talent while also collaborating with more established names.

Showcasing diverse mediums, from original artworks and print editions to oil paintings and sculptures, Art Friend celebrates creativity in all its forms. Past exhibitions include ‘LeAF’ at Boxpark Shoreditch, 5 editions of ‘REJECTS’ in Bermondsey/Stoke Newington/Notting Hill, ‘Housewarming’ in Stoke Newington, ‘The Living Room’ Bethnal Green and appearances at numerous art fairs including the Affordable Art Fair.
