Communications & Marketing Manager Full Time

Company Description

Edel Assanti was founded in 2010 in London by Jeremy Epstein and Charlie Fellowes. The gallery programme focuses on narrative-driven work by international contemporary artists whose practices engage with the complex realities of the moment in which they live.

Having been located in London’s Fitzrovia since 2014, in 2022 the gallery opened its 4,000 square foot flagship space in a renovated Grade II listed building on Little Titchfield Street. In June 2026, Edel Assanti opens a second London location at 11 Bury Street, St James’s, in the heart of one of the city’s most historic gallery neighbourhoods, broadening the scope of programming for its artists and their multifaceted practices. The Little Titchfield Street gallery stages four to five ambitious solo exhibitions per year – tending towards interdisciplinary, research-led work – with biannual expansive group exhibitions providing a platform to bring together non-represented artists in explorations of emerging themes of artistic interest. Bury Street offers an intimate, salon-style environment for focused presentations by both represented artists and those new to the programme, highlighting individual works, significant periods and definitive themes.

Our premises play host to a dynamic events programme in parallel to gallery exhibitions, encompassing performance, talks and live music. The gallery’s digital presence includes a series of short films and artist interviews published to accompany exhibitions.

In 2021, Edel Assanti’s Jeremy Epstein founded London Gallery Weekend (LGW), an annual celebration of London’s diverse gallery community, bringing together 130 contemporary commercial galleries. Now in its sixth year, Epstein remains at LGW’s helm.
