Welcome to Concept Showcase
At Concept Showcase, we believe art is more than what meets the eye—it’s an idea made visible, a feeling given form, and a conversation without words. Founded by Dorian Ashwell, this platform was created to bridge the gap between visionary artists and those who seek deeper meaning in contemporary art.
What We Do
Concept Showcase is your curated gateway to the most compelling art exhibitions, conceptual installations, and innovative art services across the UK and beyond. We don’t just list events—we illuminate the stories behind them. Our mission is to make contemporary art accessible, understandable, and inspiring for everyone, whether you're a seasoned collector, an emerging artist, or simply someone curious about the world of ideas made tangible.
Topics We Cover
We explore a wide spectrum of modern and conceptual art, including:
- Contemporary art exhibitions in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and beyond
- Artist interviews and behind-the-scenes creative processes
- Emerging trends in installation, digital, and mixed-media art
- Art services: curation, framing, gallery representation, and public art commissions
- Art theory and philosophical underpinnings of conceptual work
About the Creator
Dorian Ashwell is a lifelong advocate for experimental art and a former curator with over a decade of experience working with independent galleries in Canada and the UK. After witnessing how many talented artists struggled to reach audiences beyond niche circles, Dorian founded Concept Showcase to amplify voices that challenge norms and redefine beauty. Though based in Vancouver, Dorian travels frequently to UK art fairs, studio openings, and pop-up shows, bringing firsthand insights directly to you.
Why This Website Exists
Concept Showcase was born from a simple question: Why does profound art often feel out of reach? Too many exhibitions are buried under jargon or marketed only to insiders. We created this space to cut through the noise—to present art with clarity, passion, and integrity. This isn’t a commercial directory; it’s a community hub for those who believe art should provoke, move, and transform.
Our Values
Every article, event listing, and interview is chosen with care. We prioritize authenticity over popularity, depth over hype, and inclusivity over exclusivity. We don’t accept paid promotions disguised as editorial content. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge, not sell you something. We believe art belongs to everyone—and our job is to help you find your place within it.
Contact Us
Have a suggestion, an exhibition to share, or a question about the art world? We’d love to hear from you. Reach out directly to Dorian at [email protected]. While our editorial team is based in the UK, we welcome voices from around the globe. You can also find us at art fairs and cultural events throughout the year.
