MILKANDLEAD
Est. 2009 ~ London, England
An immediate impact between artist and audience. With this the spectator experiences first-hand the purity of the message of the work of art at the moment it is revealed, in the fullness of its power.
We at MILKandLEAD believe that art can be seen not only as an idea or image which unfurls over time but as something revelatory: a manifestation born and immortalised in one.
The name MILKandLEAD symbolises the paradox of
birth and death merged in one portmanteau word.
Reveal and Immortalise Cultural Movements
MILKandLEAD Art Gallery is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England with the Charity Commission.
The Charity is governed by its Board of Trustees and supported by advisors and volunteers.
The organisation defines new concepts of art through accurate research made on the most current experimental and innovative international cultural movements.
We strive to offer the public something revolutionary and prominent as a result of its unique artistic programme.
The gallery started in the heart of East London in 2009 as an independent platform that reflects and implements the global power of the arts, multicultural and gender-equal communities; mainly acting as a place of exposure to latest art movements and emergent new talents.
The four-pillar structure aims to embrace broad and diverse audiences, promote digital growth and engagement, create and support local, national and international partnerships, encourages learning and research, aiming to offer experiences that are beneficial to staff and audience.
SIGN PRIZE
Sign prize seeks to highlight the significance of the role of the awarded artworks/projects by recognising them as icons of innovative, all-inclusive and pioneering art.
The award constitutes an intervention, based on community participation, and a celebration that thoroughly emphasises the collaborations with partners and institutions, while improving and supporting artistic and cultural excellence.
The Sign Prize supports new concepts of art by helping, campaigning and sustaining emerging artists through bursaries, grants, and residencies.
EXHIBITIONS
A transdisciplinary approach for inclusive, participatory and socially engaged programme activities and events sustain our organisation.

TESTIMONIALS
MILKandLEAD pursues a vigorous, often challenging take on contemporary artistic production.
Paul Hegarty
Professor, University College Cork
Every exhibition or performance I have ever attended, has been like an entry to a decadent world of discovery and discussion.
Pure unadulterated visions of art and experience.
If you feel the need to be awakened then certainly check it out!

Andrex Nathalie O'Brien
Audience
The curatorial outlook is based on the quest for all that is persistently marginalized: sexuality, bodies, non-normative activities and modes of living.
Paul Hegarty
Professor, University College Cork
The only Gallery in London where you can experience the underbelly of modern culture in all its manifestations. All the times I visit Milkandlead, I feel like taking the red pill and deeper down the rabbit hole...
Maurizio Gibin
Science Researcher
One of the best events in town, there is nothing like it in the UK.
Susan Ginger
Audience at Deliquium 2018
Their output is necessary, fiercely and passionately relevant to today’s social concerns and genuinely unique in its outlook.
Paul Hegarty
Professor, University College Cork
Sounds that push at the borders of music, visuals and performance that explore the edges of our everyday thoughts and expectations.
