On the first Thursday of every month, we aim to celebrate the vibrancy of the art community in east London by providing a selection of recommendations of late openings, free art and music events, book launches, exhibitions, talks, and private views happening in the local area on that evening.
Explore galleries, artist-run spaces, and studios in east London using our First Thursdays listings to guide you. Alternatively, pick up a printed copy of the press release from our info desk at the Whitechapel Gallery.
Be inspired by our latest Top 5 selected galleries and exhibitions, and follow one of our recommended Walking Routes to make the most out of your First Thursday.
