Enjoy art by day, Mahjong, salsa dancing and ice cream by night
Founded as an independent art gallery in 2024, Twilight Contemporary on Essex Road is designed to be different. Rather than operating like a classic white cube space, Twilight runs as a gallery during the day and a lively events space by night. It even has a sister interiors design studio, Twilight Interiors, that collaborates with contemporary artists to reimagine everyday objects, bridging the worlds of art and design.
The Twilight exhibitions showcase both established and emerging artists – the current show is on William Reinsch, past ones have featured Cecilia Reeve, Philip Sutton and Mary West – in an inclusive and energetic environment, open from 11am to 5.30pm, Thursday – Saturday.
Come evening, the Twilight Lates programme kicks into gear and the space becomes a creative community hub, complete with music and cocktails. There’s a lively programme on offer, featuring regular monthly events like Mahjong nights, life drawing and comedy alongside special one-offs like an ice cream menu from Soft & Swirly, salsa dancing, poetry and Brazilian jazz.
Yes this is defo not your average art gallery. And if you want more analogue events to explore, check out the masterclasses we host exclusively for our INSIDERS.
