Bringing art to people and people to art.

The Whitechapel Gallery is a public art gallery located on Whitechapel High Street in London's Tower Hamlets. Founded in 1901 by Canon Samuel and Henrietta Barnett, it aims to bring exceptional art to the East End community. The gallery features a building designed by Charles Harrison Townsend and expanded in 2009 to accommodate larger exhibitions and diverse art forms. The gallery is known for its bold programming that emphasizes community engagement and supports emerging artists, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. It has hosted significant exhibitions throughout its history, including Picasso's *Guernica* and retrospectives of notable artists like Mark Rothko and David Hockney. The Whitechapel Gallery specializes in temporary exhibitions, group shows, and new commissions, often addressing important social issues. A key initiative is The London Open, a triennial exhibition that showcases emerging talent from across the city. The gallery also collaborates with MIT Press for its Documents of Contemporary Art book series, further contributing to the discourse in contemporary art.
