The Gallery at Art Academy

The Arts space can accommodate up to 70 people in classroom layout for presentations and conferences. For standing receptions and networking events, the space can handle larger groups, with the venue having hosted events for 150-200 people across their spaces. The exact standing capacity for the Arts space specifically is not detailed in available information.

Art activity sessions with tutors cost £59.50 per person (excluding VAT). If you want to include alcoholic drinks like beer and white wine, the price increases to £72.50 per person (excluding VAT). Sessions typically run 2-3 hours minimum and are charged per person rather than as a flat room rate.

External catering is allowed, but the venue has approved drinks suppliers or charges corkage for drinks brought in. Food is generally not allowed in studios, though exceptions may be made depending on the event. Grazing platters with meats and cheeses can be provided at approximately £15 per person (excluding VAT).

The venue provides a 5-meter wide screen projector with high quality speakers suitable for screenings and presentations. Additional AV requirements beyond this basic setup would need to be confirmed directly with the venue for your specific event needs.

A 30% deposit is required to hold your date and secure the space. The remaining balance must be cleared 2 weeks before the event. Payment terms are structured as a holding deposit first, followed by final payment once numbers are confirmed.

The venue is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm for viewings and tours. Event times can extend beyond these hours depending on your requirements, with some events running until 11pm or midnight mentioned in correspondence.

The venue provides rectangular wooden trestle tables suitable for up to 50 guests. Kitchen access is available based on the nature of your event. The space includes movable walls and extensive wall hanging space, making it suitable for exhibitions and displays.

External decorators are allowed. The venue requires details about your setup including flowers, food, drinks, and number of people expected. Specific restrictions on decorations and vendor requirements would need to be confirmed based on your individual event plans.

Creative sessions have a 2-3 hour minimum duration. For other events, setup times vary - some clients have requested 4 hours for setup with events lasting only 1 hour of actual use. Access timing and setup duration should be discussed based on your specific event requirements.

The Arts space features 44 linear meters of wall hanging space plus 12 linear meters of window space. It includes 4 movable walls that can be customized to exhibition requirements, professional lighting systems, and serves as a gallery-standard setting with the backdrop of Tate Modern nearby.
