Dairy Art Centre was an art gallery in the premises of a former dairy[2] in London founded in 2013 by Frank Cohen and Nicolai Frahm[3] which exhibited work from their personal collections, as well as from other institutions.[4] It was also used a venue to hire for events [5] [6]

Dairy Art Centre's inaugural exhibition in early 2013 was called Quicksand by John Armleder.[7]

In 2014, Julian Schnabel presented Every Angel has a Dark Side, his first solo exhibition in a public art space in the UK for nearly 15 years.[8] The exhibition was universally panned by local art critics, with the Guardian calling it "colossally bad" and the Telegraph labelling it as "irrefutably awful"[9] [10] [11] [12]

The gallery ceased its activities later that year on 7 December 2014[1]
