A new exhibition has arrived at The Gallery Cafe.

'THAT network: Practitioners Reconnected' celebrates artists who also teach, practitioners who support creativity in others every day while continuing to develop their own work. Each piece reflects the individual voice, curiosity and energy of its maker, with no imposed theme, only the shared commitment to keep creating.

This exhibition brings together a diverse range of practices and perspectives. It invites you to spend time with the work, discover the artists behind it and reconnect with the creative communities that shape classrooms and studios across London.

📍 The Gallery Cafe at St Margaret’s House
🗓 3 March to 7 April
🎟 Free to visit

Come by for a coffee, explore the exhibition, and celebrate the artists who keep making.
