The Groucho Club has opened its private viewing room to Feast of Fools, an exhibition staged in partnership with Dazed magazine and curated to reveal work by emerging artists. The evening was soundtracked by live performance from Proc Fiskal and Goblin Band, shaping the atmosphere within the intimate Soho space and lending the evening the charge of a genuine salon rather than a conventional gallery hang.
The exhibition itself unfolds across the club’s walls, a rotating opportunity for members to encounter work alongside their evenings of conversation and dinner. One piece will be selected to join the Groucho’s permanent collection. Beyond that single acquisition, members themselves become patrons through a member vote that directs funding toward a second artist, whose work the club has chosen to support. This mechanism sits at the heart of Spark, the club’s commitment to backing the next generation of creatives and giving them both visibility and material resources at a formative moment.
The private view has closed, but the exhibition runs until 14 November. Each Saturday the rooms open to the public, offering those beyond the membership to experience what the club has chosen to champion. Booking is required and available through the club’s channels.
