FORTHCOMING TOUR

Sunday 19 September
Location: Shoreditch
Sunday 31 October
Location: Hackney
Sunday 14 November
Location: Bow


ROAMING ROOM organises contemporary art tours.
In 2010 they are focused in London.
We visit artists in their studios and emergent galleries.
The tours are led by the Director/Curator of the R O O M gallery, and the Director of ROAMING ROOM.
We spend about 45 minutes/1 hour with each artist and bring an eclectic mix of people - from collectors to students, practitioners, other people from the art world and the general public.  We engage in dialogue with the artists about their work. 

It is very relaxed but the group have a serious interest in contemporary  art. The trips to studios give people a chance to see work of emerging artists, and give a showcase to those artists whose work is not currently on exhibition. Our aim is to bring people closer to the process of artmaking, to meet the artists and to discuss their ideas with them.
  • Regular tours on the last weekend of each month
  • Numbers limited 8-12 people.
  • Price - £15 per day Book by cheque in advance to secure a place or pay in cash on the day.
  • All enquiries/booking to info@roomartspace.co.uk - please title your email ROAMING ROOM
