Coordinates: 51°31′27″N 0°4′26″W / 51.52417°N 0.07389°W Hales Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in London's East End.
Founded by Paul Hedge and Paul Maslin over 20 years ago, Hales Gallery opened in 1992 as a contemporary art space in Deptford, South London. In 2004 Hales Gallery moved to its new space in the Tea Building, a dynamic and creative hub in London’s East End on the border of Shoreditch and the business district. In March 2016 the gallery opened a permanent office and private viewing gallery in New York’s Lower East Side. The expansion acted as a platform through which to further reinforce the connection between the London gallery’s roster of artists and the international art community.
Hales Gallery will open its Project Room, the gallery's first public space in New York City, in September 2017.
For over two decades Hales Gallery has been a focal point for artists, collectors and institutional figures alike and has formed an important environment for the development and distribution of artworks and ideas, all of which has consistently attracted worldwide attention. At the core of the gallery’s principles is the nurturing of emerging talents alongside some of today’s most significant historic figures. Hales Gallery’s commitment to artists whose work has garnered particular historical significance can be shown in its representation of figures such as Carolee Schneemann, Michael Smith, Frank Bowling OBE RA, Virginia Jaramillo and Stuart Brisley. Alongside these artists, the gallery has consistently and attentively supported and developed its younger artists’ careers displayed in the success found by Thomas J Price, Omar Ba, Hew Locke, Rachael Champion and Trenton Doyle Hancock.
