The Approach

Located in Bethnal Green above The Approach Tavern, for over twenty years The Approach has operated an internationally recognised programme from its East London base. Founded in 1997, The Approach is co-directed by Jake Miller and Emma Robertson. The gallery is known for discovering artists and establishing their careers as well as making inter-generational curated group shows a strong focus. Over the years the gallery has operated parallel programmes in additional gallery spaces in London’s West End (The Approach W1) and in Shoreditch (The Reliance). The gallery is currently based in its original East End location and continues to expand its programme, showcasing its artists in the main gallery space, as well as The Annexe, a smaller, more experimental space at the back of the building.
