Leonard & Co: Louise Howard’s Whimsical London Exhibition
Art exhibitions are often remembered for crowded galleries, quiet whispers, and polite appreciation. But with Louise Howard, we’ve never been about doing things the ordinary way. That’s why we were thrilled to help launch her latest show, Leonard & Co, a London exhibition that felt less like a gallery visit and more like stepping into a world of imagination, creativity, and connection.
In September 2025, guests gathered at The Ministry to experience Louise’s newest collection. The evening wasn’t just about viewing paintings, it was about storytelling, inspiration, and seeing the world through Louise’s unique lens. This was an exhibition that gave visitors more than just art; it gave them emotion, dialogue, and moments to remember.
The Artist’s Journey
Louise’s work is a fusion of realism and abstraction, inspired by her global experiences and her ability to see the extraordinary in the everyday. The Leonard & Co collection told stories of intimacy, imagination, and the subtle humor that Louise is known for.
Guests weren’t just viewing paintings; they were stepping into narratives. Each piece invited curiosity, conversation, and reflection. And because we believe art should be felt as well as seen, the exhibition was designed to let people move freely, linger, and connect with the artist herself.
Interactive Touches and Relaxation
To make the evening even more engaging, we added elements that encouraged reflection and play:
Limited-edition prints were available for purchase, giving guests a tangible memory of the exhibition.
The setting encouraged informal conversations between visitors, collectors, and journalists.
Thoughtful touches, like interactive spaces to engage with Louise’s creative process, created moments of pause and reflection, allowing the exhibition to feel immersive, not rushed.
Conversation and Connection
The opening night was more than a gallery viewing; it was a celebration of creativity and connection. Guests mingled over drinks, exchanging stories and insights inspired by the art around them. Journalists from top publications spoke with Louise about her vision, and collectors had the opportunity to purchase both a painting and several prints, connecting with the collection on a personal level.
The exhibition captured the attention of the London art scene and beyond. Media coverage celebrated not only Louise’s work but also the immersive, story-driven experience of Leonard & Co.
The Results
Art sold: One original painting and multiple limited-edition prints were purchased during the exhibition.
Engagement: Guests included journalists, collectors, and tastemakers, all experiencing Louise’s work in an intimate setting.
Media coverage: Outlets such as London World, Fused Magazine, and London the Inside highlighted the exhibition, amplifying Louise’s profile.

What Louise Had to Say
“Working with Goho has proven to be the best decision. They have worked tirelessly to help put together an incredible solo exhibition of my work. I was kept in the loop through the entire process and was given updates on progress continually. Not only are Goho an incredible team of hard workers, but on a personable level, they are brilliant. The team is like a family and made me feel so welcome. I’m really looking forward to having a long and successful relationship with them as we continue to build my brand together.”
