We were thrilled to announce our very first exhibition in the world’s first art gallery inside a chicken coop.

This inaugural exhibition presented contemporary art at the very top of the pecking order, with a solo show by the immensely talented Zara Connelly. Her work explored portraiture, landscape, identity, and what it meant to be a chicken in 2025.

The gallery name remained up for debate at the time, and we welcomed suggestions. Contenders included:

  • White Coop
  • David Zw-egg-ner
  • Perchotin
  • Eggosian
  • Hen Houser & Wirth
  • Cluckstone
  • Thaddaeus Roostpac
  • The Broodlyn Rail
