The Sunday Painter

Harry Beer and Will Jarvis established The Sunday Painter in 2009 as an artist-run project space to show the work of their friends and peers. Conceived while the founders were art students at the Chelsea College of Arts and the Camberwell College of Arts, the gallery was originally located in a disused function room of a local pub in Peckham.

In 2014, The Sunday Painter found a permanent space and transitioned to a commercial gallery model. Since then, the gallery has been exhibiting work by a cross- generational group of artists from the UK and abroad. The Sunday Painter’s origins are reflected in its commitment to running an artist-first space and cultivating a program that continually confronts, questions, and evolves with itself and the world around it.
