BRIXTON ART GALLERY

Brixton Art Gallery was founded as an artists collective in June 1983 by a group of local artists, poets and the writer Linton Kwesi Johnson. It was registered as a charity organisation limited by guarantee with funding provided by the London Borough of Lambeth. The gallery was originally situated under the railway arch in Brixton Station Road but replaced with the newer premises which form part of the Brixton Recreation Centre... Brixton Art Gallery now provides a focal point for the development of new and challenging British multicultural art in Lambeth, throughout the London area, and beyond to the international arts community... Over the twelve months of 2004, Brixton Art Gallery presented a broad range of artists' work and poetry and education events, attracting 5000 visitors to the gallery.
