Art at Holland Park Café
We're proud to support Sensing Earth & Being Nature — a year-round seasonal arts programme bringing together artists, scholars, and the public in two of London's most loved green spaces: Holland Park and Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath.
Curated by Justin Hibbs and led by artist Alan McFetridge, the programme weaves together a series of changing exhibitions, artist- and scholar-led workshops, and open-air summer dances — all in direct relationship with the living landscape around you.
Whether you're visiting for brunch, a coffee, or simply a moment of quiet, you're always welcome to stop and experience the work on display in the café.
Each season brings a new artist and a new lens through which to encounter the park. Curated by Justin Hibbs, Being Nature unfolds across the year as four consecutive exhibitions, displayed here at Holland Park Café.
