About Exhibit Here
Our story…
Exhibit Here’s very first exhibition took place in February 2014 in a disused Santander bank located in Harrow, featuring just fifteen artists.
The space was a little rough around the edges, but the artworks breathed new life into it and gave it soul.
This exhibition proved to be a fantastic launch pad for Exhibit Here and the beginning of what was set to become an exciting journey.
Fast forward twelve years and twenty-one exhibitions later, Exhibit Here has become a leading arts organisation in London, which prides itself on providing the best exhibition opportunities for artists and visitors alike.
Having proudly curated multiple large-scale exhibitions at venues such as the Menier Gallery, La Galleria Pall Mall and Bargehouse Oxo Tower Wharf, we continue to grow, and to mark this, have launched Exhibit Here’s Art Now Fair at Unit/08 Copeland Park, Peckham, which is set to return in September 2026.
Meet the Founder
Leila Bibizadeh
FOUNDER, DIRECTOR AND CURATOR
Leila Bibizadeh is of dual heritage, English and Iranian. She graduated from the University of East London with a degree in Fine Art in 2008. Prior to founding Exhibit Here she exhibited her work extensively across the UK, including at the Saatchi Gallery, Mall Galleries, Bankside Gallery, O2 Arena and Oxford Street’s John Lewis.
Leila specialises in wildlife painting and enjoys photographing nature, specifically in Florida.
As an artist and an entrepreneur, she is a firm believer in creating your own opportunities as she understands how difficult it can be to fight to have your work seen in the competitive world of art, which spurred her to set up Exhibit Here.
She has a deep understanding of all forms of art, and she is passionate about showcasing the work of other artists and watching them shine.
As the art world continues to evolve and art fairs become increasingly popular ways to exhibit and appreciate art, her ultimate goal was to create an art fair for Exhibit Here.
She is immensely proud to have achieved this in 2025 and is excited for their future events.
