Tannery Arts supports the professional development of emerging and established artists through the provision of affordable studios
Drawing Room presents a curated exhibition and participation programme with an international perspective and is the UK & European centre for the exploration, appreciation and expression of the language of drawing.
Tannery Arts currently manages 80 studios, housing 97 artists across four properties. These are in Camberwell, Elephant and Castle, Oval and Bermondsey, London.
Our studios come in a range of sizes, from compact 80 sq ft spaces to large 1,024 sq ft studios. Most are private, lockable rooms, but we also offer desk spaces and a small number of separate storage spaces at more affordable rates.
Our pricing is based on what’s considered affordable for artists in London, developed in collaboration with our partners at LAASN. We also work closely with other studio providers and local partners to promote the importance of affordable artist studios, particularly through Section 106 agreements. Our New Tannery Way site in SE1 is a strong example of how these agreements can successfully support artists.
Our aim is to balance long-term sustainability with real affordability. By holding a mix of buildings on different lease lengths, we’re able to support artists with a choice of spaces at fair rates, while nurturing a diverse, supportive and collaborative community across our studios.
