We take vacant buildings and underused public places and bring them into creative use. These spaces provide an incubation space for different disciplines, and for communities to come together.
PARTICIPATE
Working with a network of high-calibre creatives we run a year-round programme of public events. With a focus on multidisciplinary art, new media and events that advocate for social change.
SPACES
We manage stunning buildings on behalf of landlords, available for rent to the film and events industries. All profits from hires go towards supporting artistic and community activities.
SERVICES
We provide commercial services to landlords, local authorities and others that breathe life into spaces. We can provide logistical support to clients using our buildings. We create unique live experiences.
WHATS ON
We host events and projects in the spaces we manage, covering the spectrum of visual and performing arts. We offer a regular programme of workshops and manage projects outside our spaces.
CONTACT
Whether you're interested in us managing a building, creating an uplifting outdoor project, if you'd like to hire a space, or if you just like coffee, we're always up for chatting.
