491 Gallery, Alternative art space in Leytonstone, London, United Kingdom
The 491 Gallery was a converted factory building on Grove Green Road with multiple studios and exhibition areas for various artistic disciplines. The spaces served artists as working and performance venues for their projects.
The building was founded in 2001 after a group of artists transformed an abandoned storage building into a functioning art space. Operations ended in 2013 after more than a decade of artistic activity.
The space hosted contemporary art shows, music performances, and community events that brought together local artists and visitors. These activities shaped the artistic life of the neighborhood for over a decade.
The gallery was located near public transportation and was easily accessible by public transit. The venue offered rehearsal spaces for local musicians and was supported through community donations.
The site included a community garden with hundreds of plant species that had grown from a former construction debris area. This green space showed how the venue connected nature and art together.
