As a result of our unique mission as an unfunded and not-for-profit organisation supporting independent, experimental and thought-provoking art forms – striving to make money for artists, not from them – the past fifteen years has seen fortyfivedownstairs develop treasured relationships with a broad community of artists and makers. This August, 45 artists who have contributed to the reputation of the gallery over the years will be joining us once again for 45 at 45.

Featuring artworks from 45 artists, each with a unique connection to fortyfivedownstairs, 45 at 45 will provide a snapshot not only of the creativity and innovation that has filled our gallery over the past decade and a half, but of the network of artists who have supported, and been supported by, fortyfivedownstairs.
