This October, Art Month returns to Connaught Village in a celebration of art, culture and creativity.

Acme artists have been invited to take over a shop unit for a dynamic pop-up gallery, alongside exhibitions in galleries Dorothy Circus, CasildArt, RNat5A and Matt Carey-Williams, which alongside auction house Lyon & Turnbull make Connaught Village a year-round arty destination.

Connaught Village Art Month 2025 programme includes:

1. ‘Anemoia’, artists from Acme Studios

Takeover exhibition by Acme Studios artists Eleanor McLean, Ellie Pearch and Jacob Talkowski. Inspired by John Koenig’s The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, where “anemoia” is defined as the feeling of nostalgia for a time never personally experienced, this exhibition presents sculpture and installation that connects the tactile with the virtual and the poetic. 14^th – 23^rd October at 21 Connaught Street, W2 2AY.

Artist Talk:

The artists will host a talk about their work in the exhibition space at 21 Connaught Street on Wednesday 15^th October at 6pm. Free. Please RSVP via Eventbrite.
