ABOUT US
Art Assembly curate multi artist events, facilitate new collaborations and provide opportunities to showcase experimental work.We are dedicated to providing opportunities for emerging artists to perform on a professional platform at each event. Accessibility is a key concern for the organisation and where possible we produce free events and workshops programmed to enrich artistic practice, alongside our ticketed events.
With 7 years of event delivery experience, Art Assembly have worked on the 80k capacity Reading and Leeds festivals as well as Latitude and Big Chill festivals. Devised the live music strategy for Village Underground in Shoreditch and Hackney Empire and have promoted events large and small from Koko and Barbican to Café Oto. Including Swans 30th Anniversary festival and most recently William Basinski’s infamous Williamsburg Arcadia studio and performance space was reimagined via a multi venue concert series in London in March 2014.
Events, happenings and concepts are born out of a fine art agenda or a desire to collaborate with an artist, group or organisation and Art Assembly have forged good partnerships with the London art collages including, RCA, Goldsmiths, LCC and St Martins as well as Sound and Music and several urban youth music agencies.
