Returning in summer 2026, Hackney Art Week is a borough-wide celebration of contemporary creativity, bringing together artists and creatives across 60 venues in one of London’s most dynamic cultural areas.

Founded in 2025 by Hackney residents Anna McHugh and Lisa Baker, the festival unfolds across Dalston, Clapton, London Fields, De Beauvoir, Stoke Newington, Haggerston, and Hackney Wick — transforming the borough into a network of cultural moments.
Alongside curation from Anna and Lisa, guest curators include Anne McCloy, Caroline McCambridge, Maria Guy, Mei Hui Liu and Paola Lucente.
Far from a traditional art week, Hackney becomes a loose constellation of happenings. Markets, exhibitions, murals, workshops — popping up across studios, streets and neighbourhood spaces, where exhibitions, food, music and performance intersect in unexpected ways.
