Shelter | An exhibition supporting Outside In
-
Event date 12 - 22 January 2026 -
Event location London
This is a hugely exciting opportunity to share the work of 81 artists – many of whom face significant barriers to the art world. The exhibition shines a light on creativity and voices too often overlooked, while bringing the powerful theme of Shelter to new audiences in the heart of London.
Exploring ideas of safety, protection, home, and community, the artists have responded in deeply personal and imaginative ways, working across painting, sculpture, textiles, installation, and digital media. Their work reflects on subjects such as housing insecurity, homelessness, belonging, displacement, and resilience, highlighting the universal human need for safety and connection.
No one should experience barriers to entering the art world, an issue which Outside In is so effectively tackling. We are delighted to play a small part in their mission, by hosting the exhibition ‘Shelter’ at Christie’s.—Anthea Peers, President of Christie’s EMEA
