MESSUM ORG was founded by Johnny Messum in 2016 as a platform to provide a circular relationship between art and social engagement.

MESSUMS ORG is a collaborative space for artists, collectors and thinkers. It is a virtual and physical network for the presentation and engagement with creative expression across artistic genre. Started as Messums Wiltshire in 2016 in a 13th Century Tithe Barn by Johnny Messum, the business has established venues and arts communities in the West and East of England. These locations are connected to an exhibiting venue in central London, evolving the role of the gallery from presentational space to one that offers access, support and knowledge to the creative languages.

Our core specialisms are represented in the breadth of the arts we engage in as part of the programme of exhibitions and events at our venues. This encompasses painting, drawing, ceramic, sculpture, film, photography, performance, architecture, textiles and more. Together with our exhibitions and events, we offer international artist residencies, contemporary dance premières, symposia, and workshops. Central to our ethos is the relationship between creativity and problem solving, seeking solutions to aid progress and foster understanding.
