About
BEARSPACE is one of the more established spaces located in Deptford, South East London. Deptford has more artists per square foot than any other place in the Capital. Ever since an ambitious group of art students from Goldsmiths college in New Cross staged a makeshift show called Freeze in 1988, Deptford has been a landmark on the London art map. BEARSPACE has been credited as one of the Top Five Galleries by 'The Times'

Curator
Julia Alvarez, founder of the South London Art Map, and all-round authority on all things arty happening on this little shabby-chic patch south of the river.

Manifesto
BEARSPACE is a pioneering art space in London exhibiting emerging artists who push the boundaries of contemporary art practice.

Artists are selected for their response to contemporary culture and philosophy, and their work often displays a conceptual or narrative framework. Artworks pioneer innovative use of materials and rational and are of the highest technical quality. BEARSPACE prides itself on discovering exceptional artists early on in their careers, and promoting them through gallery exhibitions, art fairs, curated exhibitions and collaborations.
