Almanac Projects is a non-profit organisation (an English-registered charitable Community Benefit Society) founded and based in London since 2013 with a sibling, independent project in Turin, Almanac Inn (an Italian-registered SPA - Social Promotion Organisation, a charity). Almanac Projects and Almanac Inn are financially and legally separate with their own teams and priorities. They work independently; but as twins, also collaborate on several events and projects.
In common, both are dedicated to showing art in various forms and ensuring accessibility and involvement to people from all backgrounds, and in spite of their backgrounds, including those whose involvement, expression, and experience of arts is challenged by their socioeconomic, physical ability, geographical remoteness, neurodivergence, ethnicity, gender, class, age, and personal or educational experiences. This is done by engaging with ways art can become a part of the daily rhythms of life. There is an interest in exploring the borders of curatorial agency and the potential of cultural change through creative collaborations. Regarding the exhibition as an act of communication, there is an aim to facilitate dialogue as a way of opening up artistic practices to new registers of thought.
Almanac Projects, London
By focusing on solo shows of emerging artists as well as a complementary programme of free and accessible educational and artistic events, Almanac aims to support artistic research and development, and to provide a deeper knowledge of these practices to the public.
