Chisenhale Gallery is a non-profit contemporary art gallery based in London's East End.
The organisation focuses on a programme of commissioned exhibitions, offsite projects and events, performances, film screenings and talks. Chisenhale Gallery produces up to five major exhibitions each year.
The gallery occupies the ground level of a 1930s veneer factory on Chisenhale Road situated in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, near Victoria Park. The gallery is one of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisations.
Chisenhale Gallery promotes emerging and under-represented artists while contributing to the pursuit of new directions in their practice. The curatorial remit is to commission new work and support the artists throughout the project from inception to realisation and exhibition.
