About Us

Photographer James Sparshatt and businessman Ken Climie set up Capital Culture in 2003.   Their main aim was to focus on and work alongside a small group of artists, from the UK and overseas, who share a common desire to reveal the beauty in the people, places and cultures of the world through their art work.

We are based in Southwark, London where we have an office and show space.  We also have a gallery in Covent Garden called 3 Bedfordbury, which we use for our own exhibitions and sometimes hire out to other galleries and art dealers.  

We participate in a number of art fairs all over the world and put on several exhibitions in London every year.   We are pleased to work alongside a number of charities for some of our events.
