The V22 Summer Club presents events, exhibitions, performances, screenings and happenings in collaboration with invited programming partners and artists, as well as new partners from local areas in which the Summer Club occurs
Young London 2018 provides a platform for emerging artists to show their work alongside a wide group of their contemporaries in a large-scale exhibition.
