Studios@Bank Street

Housed in the terraces at the rear of the building, Bank Street Arts provides working space for a variety of creative practitioners. Fine artists, designers, illustrators, jewellers and publishers will be using the studios in spaces which range from a hundred square feet to nearly seven hundred. All spaces are individually lockable with natural light and central heating. The diverse range of occupants reflects the intended breadth of aims and programming in the Centre as a whole.

From September 2008 we will have available further studios and offices at the front of the building on the upper floors. For details of availability and prices, please get in touch.

April 26,27 & May 3,4,5

We open our doors at Bank Street for the first time as a cross section of Studio holders will be available across the two weekends of this city wide event. Please come and look around what is very much a work in progress and tell us what you'd like to see at the same time as getting a flavour of what is happening in the Studios at Bank Street.
