History

Castor was founded in 2016, launching with ten solo exhibitions in twelve months, in a basement space adjacent to Goldsmiths in New Cross. Following the success of the first year’s programming, Castor relocated to Resolution Way in Deptford, where it continued to thrive within the South East London art scene. Over the next two years, the gallery’s footprint expanded twice and the former project space officially established itself as a commercial gallery. In 2022, Castor’s latest relocation sees its arrival in the heart of Fitzrovia in a purpose built space that boasts over 1000 square feet of galleries alongside viewing room, offices and storage.

Since 2016 Castor has focused on supporting emerging artists to realise ambitious presentations of their practice, often exploring social and personal narratives through sculpture, painting, video and installation. The gallery currently represents seven artists, registering a diverse range of practices brought together by a mastery of craft.
