Principal activities of the company

Arts organisation promoting artistic activity and collaboration in the local community through exhibitions, events and artist residencies.

Additional information

Managing Director’s Report RUBY CRUEL CIC operates as Ruby Cruel from a physical space at 250 Well Street, Hackney, E9 6RQ and provides an exhibition/events space where artists can work/create/show their art, and other forms of artistic presentation can be held at no charge. Any income raised through donations or sales of artworks are used to fund the running costs of the physical space where the activities are held. During the financial year Ruby Cruel has conducted activities which are in line with its goals and interests as an arts organisation working in the community. These have benefitted the local community by giving direct access to international art, artists and academic thinkers in a way that is not previously available in the area. Local members of the community have participated in these events/programming and even initiated their own events in the space. There is no charge for admission or use of the space and events have been well attended by the community. Art exhibitions are also available to be viewed from the street through the shop windows so passersby are also able to engage with art outside of regular opening hours. The activities at Ruby Cruel varied throughout the year and were as follows: Artist residency, Felisha Maria Carenage (Trinidad & Tobago) and her exhibition MADWOMAN?! Artist residency, Heino Schmid (Bahamas) and his exhibition NEW WORK. Film Screening of ‘BIM’ (Trinidad & Tobago) hosted by London based film curator Jonathan Ali. Artist residency, Annalee Davis (Barbados) and her exhibition ‘An Unbound Book of Prayer’ ‘Caribbean Artist Salon’ hosted twice, which is a discussion group for local artists of Caribbean descent. Fund Raising event/art auction to assist struggling artists in Haiti organised by local artist Leah Gordon. Hosted visiting academic Kaneesha Parsard (Trinidad & Tobago) and a held discussion of her upcoming publication ‘Strange Claims’ with London based academic Christine Okoth. Artist residency, Greg Bailey (Jamaica) and open studio exhibition of his most recent work. Exhibition of ’The Travellers’ by artist Giorvana Hadeed (Trinidad & Tobago). Hosted visiting academic Dr Erica James (Bahamas) and held discussion on ‘Art, Colonialism and Change’. We have had a very busy and successful first year and look forward to many more.
