50th Anniversary Weekend
26–27 September 2026

Raven Row
56 Artillery Lane, London, E1 7LS

Celebrate Art Monthly magazine’s 50th anniversary and the launch of its 500th issue

Since its first issue in 1976, Art Monthly has supported and critically engaged with art and the contexts in which it is made. The series of talks devised by Art Monthly’s associate editor, Chris McCormack, reflects on the past 50 years of British art, while questioning the place of criticism and debate in its making and understanding.

The reading room display of all 500 issues will be open 12–8pm all weekend
