E:vent creates spaces and frameworks for exploring emerging practices in contemporary art. E:vent director Colm Lally works together with artists, collaborators and independent curators on a unique and exciting programme that includes exhibitions of contemporary art, experimental music, sound art, film and video.

Our intention is to promote an appreciation for emerging creative practices and to contribute to a critical discourse, locating the work in relation to a wider art community, both nationally and internationally.

E:vent has adopted a model of practice used by Galileo - the interrogation of a reliable witness to an event. This simple yet powerful idea is a shift of emphasis from the object to a system oriented practice, and in our context moves away from the tradition of a fixed white cube as interface to contemporary art and culture. Adopting this model we are seeking the engagement of each protagonist - artist, curator and interpreter - in a collaborative event.

E:vent also facilitates educational workshops with local kids, hosts forum dinners and engages in community development projects. E:vent has developed strong partnerships with higher educational institutions and each year presents a cross section of graduate work from London art colleges.

E:vent undertakes research with partner organisations to develop new ways of thinking about constructed cultural spaces, both online and built environments. We are interested in how these environments intersect with public space.
