Tannery Arts is a small, independent charity that supports the professional development of emerging and established artists. We do this by providing affordable studio spaces and creating opportunities to exhibit work, develop projects and build meaningful partnerships.
Tannery Arts supports emerging and established artists by providing affordable studio spaces and secure working conditions for artistic practice. Our core work focuses on developing, managing and maintaining studio buildings, while also creating opportunities for artists to exhibit, collaborate and develop new projects through Tannery Projects.
We work in partnership with local authorities, property owners, housing organisations and Drawing Room to encourage wider public engagement with contemporary art, alongside learning and mentoring opportunities for artists.
Tannery Arts is artist-led, with most of the staff actively maintaining their own creative practices. We believe this keeps us closely connected to the needs of the artists we support and underpins our collaborative, equality-based approach.
Founded in 2000, Tannery Arts is an exempt charity and a Community Benefit Society, and a member of London’s Artists Affordable Studios Network (LAASN).
