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] Schnabel's exhibition was panned by local art critics, with The Guardian calling it "colossally bad" and The Daily Telegraph describing it as "irrefutably awful".[9][10][11][12]

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