The Ripple Foundation

Ripple Galleries

Artists moving through
space & time.

Artists rotating between different spaces to exhibit their work. A hotel corridor, the wall behind a restaurant table, a room between shows: we curate the work, hang it and prepare it, and take it down again when it is time for the next artist.

The shapes it comes in

A weekend, a season, or always

From one evening in a gallery to a collection a space keeps and grows for years.

The weekend show

One artist, one exhibition, up for a weekend. They hang it themselves and they are there while it is on, so the person who made the work is in the room with it.

The living collection

A gallery that runs all year and turns over with the seasons: each one brings another artist, or new work from the same one, so the place you visited in spring is a different one in autumn.

The Ripple evening

An open house curated from several of the artists: work on the walls, music and performance, and the doors open. Bring whoever you would like to bring.

The online gallery & shop

Everything the artists create, in one place, so a piece you saw on a wall in Sagres can be found again from anywhere. In preparation now.

How it works

Curated, hung, promoted, and taken down again

01

Chosen together

We make the selection of artists and artworks together.

02

Set up in person

The artist shows up personally to set it up, and is there for the opening.

03

Visibility

Expand your visibility through art.

04

Work that sells is shared

Artwork sold is shared with the space.

Who hangs

The artists in the collection

Six of the network exhibit. Here is what each of them creates.

In preparation

The online gallery & shop

Everything the artists create, in one place. The whole living collection can be seen and bought, so that a piece meets people far beyond the wall it is hanging on.

Stay updated when the online gallery opens
