Refusés Opens First Permanent Gallery in Park Royal
On 8 October 2026, Refusés will officially open its first permanent location at Queensrollahouse in Park Royal, following two years of traveling exhibitions in London, New York, and Europe. This venue, once a Rolls-Royce factory from the 1950s, has been reimagined by artist Henry Krokatsis into a vibrant creative space. From 8 October to 20 December 2026, the gallery will feature a solo exhibition by British artist Elspeth Vince, aligning with Frieze London. Vince’s work incorporates amber lighting, textile elements, and mirrored thresholds, blending painting with architectural concepts. Established in 2024 by Athina Sanvido and Juliette Miller, Refusés aims to redefine the gallery experience while continuing international projects, including Auudi Dorsey’s showcase at Untitled Houston.
