On the evenings of 29 and 30 June, the West End came alive with a vibrant after-dark art scene.

Visitors enjoyed free late-night gallery openings, outdoor art installations, and some of the best dining and drinking spots—offering the perfect way to experience art after hours.

On Thursday 29 June, the West End Gallery HOP!, in collaboration with Mayfair Art Weekend, showcased London’s dynamic independent galleries across Mayfair, St. James’s, Soho, and Fitzrovia. Art lovers hopped between venues, discovering fresh collections and cutting-edge trends.

The following night, Friday 30 June, iconic institutions like The National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, and Royal Academy of Arts stayed open late, welcoming Londoners to explore world-class art well into the evening.

This summer, we partnered with artist Amelia Kosminsky and florist Philip Corps to create a moment of beauty and tranquility in the heart of London. Piccadilly Circus was transformed with a stunning floral takeover, while Amelia’s video artworks were showcased on the Piccadilly Lights, bringing art to life in the city’s vibrant centre.

Kate Bryan is an art expert and the Head of Collections at Soho House. She also hosts 'Galleries on Demand' on Sky Arts. With a deep passion for making art more accessible and exciting, her main goal is to ensure everyone can engage with and enjoy art.

A huge thank you to our partners and collaborators! Art After Dark is brought to you in collaboration with Mayfair Art Weekend, The National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, Heart of London Business Alliance and Pinterest.
