ABOUT THE relaxed openings

On the dates below, noise throughout the exhibitions will be kept to a minimum. A quiet, low-lit space will be available for anyone who would like to take a break.

Our relaxed openings are for all visitors who prefer a quieter environment. They are particularly suited to adults and children with complex support needs, SEND, or those with autism, and their families and carers.

This is an informal opportunity to visit Autograph’s galleries and see the art on display. You can come and leave anytime during the Gallery’s opening hours. We are a medium-sized venue, with two galleries and a studio space. We recommend allowing 30 - 60 minutes for your visit.

Have any questions? We're happy to help! Get in touch at info@rivingtonplace.org or you can call us at 020 7749 1240

This area is usually quiet, but there may be some sound from other visitors. From the reception area, visitors can go to Gallery 1, the Studio, and take the lift or stairs to Gallery 2.

Gallery 1
In our ground floor gallery is Armet Francis's exhibition Beyond the Black Triangle. The gallery is spacious and well lit, with a large window facing the street. Sounds in the gallery can echo a bit. Francis’s photography is hung on the walls and there are benches in the gallery space.

The Studio
The Studio is on the ground floor. This will be used as a quiet space for any visitors who would like to take a break. There is a large glass window facing a quiet street. A range of chairs and bean bags will be provided. Visitors are welcome to use the ear defenders in the space, and weighted blankets.
