RuptureXIBIT (+Studio) is first, a working art studio, and second, a flexible exhibition space designed to give artists an affordable place to expand and further define their practice through showing their experimental work and talking about it across disciplines and communities.

Opening Hours vary weekly. Please see our Current show for this week’s hours.

Rupture exists as a space for artists to expand their practice to include the act of showing. Through showing, artists engage first with consideration, conversation, and evolution, and secondarily, a sale may arise from this situation. Our gallery’s focus is on privileging the act of expanding practice, and on the development of the artist. Many of these works are also for sale, please do enquire. Read the Rupture Manifesto here.

We are now accepting applications to show with us in October, November and December!

Here at RuptureXIBIT, we offer artists an affordable space to expand and define their practice by showing their experimental and resolved work and talking about it across disciplines and communities devoid of hierarchy. Experimental means experimental to you: how you ask more of your practice. We accept proposals based on the artist’s desire to develop through showing.

RuptureXIBIT is interested in the new, and believes the new comes from an engagement with a willingness to stretch, push, and fail. We are a lab, a workout space, a place to try things you are unsure of. We are your trampoline.

We’re currently accepting proposals for front gallery shows. We offer a 350 sq. ft. High Street shop-front gallery, suitable for solo and group shows, with promotion of your show across numerous platforms and full support from our experienced in-house team.

We have a limited number of weeks available, so apply now as spaces are filling up fast!

  • "Being part of the Lawless Imagination Exhibition was an incredibly enriching experience. The exhibition not only provided a platform for my works but also fostered an engaging community that celebrated creativity without boundaries. I particularly appreciate the immersive and well-curated curation at the front gallery space; it perfectly aligns with the theme of the show. Thank you for bringing it to life. I am honored to be part of this inspiring community and am grateful for the opportunity."

  • "It’s been a wonderful experience to exhibit at Rupture. It truly is a space for art. I’m especially impressed by the critique session Rupture organized; we got to share insights about our works. It was very supportive and helpful."

  • “Being part of the Lawless Imagination exhibition has been a transformative experience for me as a young artist. The gallery team's level of involvement and enthusiasm has left a lasting impression. I wish more galleries embraced such deep exploration of artists' universes and personalities. The atmosphere of involvement was refreshing—where my voice was heard and valued. I felt a sense of responsibility for my work and gained tremendous motivation to continue pushing boundaries. The critique event expanded my perspective on my artistic identity, allowing me the freedom to discuss my art openly. It also sparked a curiosity to explore my work through performance and mixed media. Kate, Sally, and Olivia's dedication to what they do at Rupture is a pure joy and an inspiration. Thank you for creating a space where artists can thrive and be celebrated. This experience has ignited my passion to continue my artistic journey with newfound confidence and creativity.”
