Projects

Pallas Projects collaborates with artists and groups, placing a particular emphasis on early-career, emerging artists and recent graduates, experimental or overlooked practices.

Our gallery programming is centred around our open-submission Artist-Initiated Projects. Selected projects are presented in the context of a gallery space with a dedicated tradition towards the professional development of artists in a peer-led, supportive environment and are supplemented with artists’ talks, texts, workshops, performances, artists' interviews, and gallery visits by colleges and local schools.

This core programme is contextualised alongside collaborative, curated, and international projects.
