Founded in 2008, murmurART is a contemporary art company dedicated to supporting and promoting exceptional emerging artists through innovative projects and bespoke services.

With unrivalled access to leading art schools and close involvement in the emerging art scene, our experienced team are able to identify the most exciting early career artists and promising graduates before they receive exclusive gallery representation. This rigorous ongoing curation ensures that we present new artists whose work is of the highest quality and best investment potential to our collectors and audience.

Our exhibition programme makes use of the 2000 sqft upstairs galleries of 20 Hoxton Square Projects. It compliments the firmly established, state-of-the-art website, allowing us to expand our curatorial projects and to show clients some of the best new artwork first hand. The stunning, newly developed space provides a major launch-pad for up-and-coming artists and play host to murmurART's programme of events, set to include pop-up shows, film screenings, performances and talks.
