Since it’s initial founding in 2011 as an artist-led project space and adjacent studios, Cob has committed itself to embolden and nurture multidisciplinary UK emerging talent. Cob’s core programming centres around a roster of UK-based artists whilst simultaneously inviting international practitioners to exhibit in London, often as their UK debut. Cob further supports artists with off-site projects and installations as well as editions and publications.  

In 2023, the gallery launched an on site residency programme offered to two artists annually to develop their artistic practice and realise ambitious projects.

Cob undertakes working with all artists in good faith. The views of the artists Cob works with and exhibits do not necessarily represent Cob's. Cob is not liable for and takes no responsibility for the actions of artists that may result in legal action or dispute.
