about the gallery

ART THAT CREATES CONNECTION

Founded in 2016 by Fergus Downey, Alveston Gallery Notting Hill is dedicated to discovering unexpected emerging contemporary art which often has a twist. Located in the heart of Notting Hill, the gallery offers a vibrant and dynamic space for those seeking works they can form a meaningful connection with in their everyday lives.

The gallery welcomes anyone with a curiosity for art to wander through an ever-evolving programme of works. Our philosophy is simple: art is meant to be lived with - valued, experienced, and enjoyed!

Alveston has always supported artists from the earliest stages of their careers, many of whom have since achieved national and international recognition through major prizes, museum acquisitions, and significant media attention.

The majority of artists represented have remained with the gallery for over eight years, reflecting a long-term commitment to nurturing, developing, and - above all -championing artists throughout each phase of their artistic journey.
Our story

Discover art without boundaries

Clients are invited to let their eye guide them, choosing works that resonate personally rather than relying solely on trends, status, or external expectations. This approach creates a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in which both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers feel equally comfortable exploring and discovering art.

At the core of the gallery’s ethos is the belief that art should be meaningful and accessible to everyone. By fostering an environment free from intimidation or exclusivity, the gallery allows visitors from a wide range of backgrounds to connect with artworks in ways that feel genuine and personal. Whether a client is an experienced collector, a casual admirer, or someone purchasing their very first piece, the gallery values individual taste and encourages thoughtful engagement with every artwork on display.
