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], at the time the artist's largest solo exhibition in the UK, and was curated by Alessandro Rabottini [8].

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 [9]. The exhibition was universally panned by local art critics, with the Guardian calling it "colossally bad" and the Telegraph labelling it as "irrefutably awful"[10][11][12][13]

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