Shaftesbury has announced that 'The Hook,' a novel art gallery retail concept, has launched at its flagship London store in Seven Dials, which is located in the West End of London. The 1,588-square-foot gallery, which is next to Ollie Quinn at 37A Neal Street, houses a number of works by both established and up-and-coming artists, of whom work in a variety of different mediums.
The Hook Seven Dials held a launch event to honor the artists, display their most recent collections, and expose the community to their new multi-use venue. Also provided for the guests was a live painting demonstration by the artist Emily Harman. Harman's finished piece of art will eventually be included in The Hook's Seven Dials collection.
