Founded in 2013, Encounter is committed to exploring the role of artist and curator outside the gallery walls. This has resulted in numerous exhibitions and installations in the public realm both in the UK and internationally.

Operating from several key sites across London, the gallery runs an international ‘moving’ exhibition program curating academically rigorous and immersive projects. They work closely with a core group of leading emerging and established contemporary artists helping to develop their practices through curatorial collaborations, critical exposure and sales. The program is particularly engaged with artists whose sophisticated material languages open up new spaces of conceptual investigation. Since its inception, Encounter has focused on building dynamic relationships with both new and established collectors, institutions and foundations who are dedicated to supporting diverse contemporary art practices.
