Glitter Ball showroom & projects

Glitter Ball showroom & projects is an artist-run initiative for contemporary art and artists – focusing on queer and marginalised practices. We invite exciting and inspiring artists to engage with us on various projects.

Glitter Ball works closely with each of our selected artists and projects. Artistic expression is our heart and soul. Thinking like a museum and being like a family creates an environment where artists can experiment, play and take risks. We are part of a fluid network of artists’ initiatives stretching across the whole of Europe and extending to Africa, America, Australia and the far East.

Since leaving the Enköping showroom in 2023 Glitter has operated peripatetically.

Glitter Ball is the initiative of artist Stuart Mayes who now lives and works in Enköping, Sweden. Stuart has over thirty years experience as an artist, his own practice encompasses installation, objects and live work, as well as collaborations, projects, teaching and gallery education. He gained his degree at Dartington College of Arts and his masters at Slade School of Art (London), he has also taken professional courses at both the Royal Institute of Art and Konstfack (Stockholm).
