About
Artists Studio Company (ASC) is a London based registered charity founded in 1995. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to supporting artists and makers, championing the arts, and fostering public engagement and education in the arts.
In our effort to uphold this mission:
Develops
We manage affordable workspace for creatives. All rental income is fed back into our charitable activities and maintaining affordable rents.
Engages
We engage communities in free outreach activities with educational programmes, working with schools, colleges and youth groups.
Hosts
We host free public art exhibitions and events.
Provides
We provide free business support to our tenants through training, mentoring and grant funding.
We are the leading affordable workspace provider to creatives in London. We currently support over 850 practitioners and to date we have managed a total of 28 buildings. As a registered charity, ASC feeds back all its income into charitable activities and maintaining affordable workspace and free exhibition spaces for the majority of tenants.
We continue to play a major role supporting London’s creative talent, nurturing thousands of individuals and making a huge positive change to the capitals cultural landscape.
We are very proud that a great many of our tenants have gone on to become household names. However we place greater value and believe deeply in fostering communities and in reaching out to people who might never have engaged in art.
We seek to support creative people of all practices and backgrounds. We strongly believe art can only be truly relevant when it is open to all.
Find out about our team!
Our team has decades of experience developing and managing affordable workspace for the creative sector. They understand the needs of artists and makers because many of our staff trained as artists and makers or are practicing artists and makers themselves.
Most of the ASC team have been with the organisation for many years. We are proud to be an accredited London Living Wage employer.
