Spaces in Art Academy
The Gallery
The Gallery features a fantastic artistic backdrop with curated works by Academy artists, blending creativity and elegance for a visually stunning event and environment. The space can also be hired for external exhibitors who want to showcase their artwork, photography, or installations in a gallery-standard setting that enhances your display. The impeccable lighting systems and the backdrop of the Tate Modern lends an inspiring tone to your exhibition.
Project Space
The venue retains a creative ambiance and distinctive artistic charm that aligns with the Academy's ethos. You can showcase your exhibitions and pop-ups in a small-scale in a professional-grade venue. The Space is ideal for smaller showcases and collections of artworks, photography or digital displays.
See venueLarge Studio
Tucked away at the back of the campus, just off The Hub, you’ll find our biggest studio space…the gloriously literal named Large Studio. What can we say? We like to keep things honest. It’s got all the makings of an artistic playground (paint flecks on the floor and everything) and it’s already moonlighted as a cinema, a stage for intimate talks, and an exhibition gallery. But really, that’s just the beginning. This is your blank canvas, waiting to be transformed into whatever wonderful idea you’ve got brewing. Go on, make it yours.

Our skilled ceramists are on hand to guide participants in a creative atmosphere to ensure an enjoyable experience! A ceramics focuses event can foster collaboration and a unique experience to your guests. Host your next birthday, anniversary or any event in the studio to have a creative party that combines drinks and nibbles and an unforgettable artistic celebration.
See venueArtist Studios
Located off The Hub, you’ll find our seven Artist Studios. Calm spaces dedicated to drawing, painting, sculpture, digital work and printmaking. Basically, if it’s hands-on and creative, it happens here. Each studio is light, bright and full of creative energy, with white walls, modern kit and industrial edge. They’re the real deal - working spaces for unleashing your creativity. These rooms are perfect for art and making activities, but not all are available as blank-slate hires. And remember, because we’re an art school, we can offer fantastic creative activities to enrich your event.

Downstairs you’ll find The Hub - the heart of the campus and our go-to space for getting people together (and shaking things up a little). This isn’t your average event space. It’s a chameleon. Super flexible, totally transformable, and just waiting for your big, bold ideas. We’re an art school, after all. Move things around, plaster the walls with vinyls, light it up, turn it inside out, seriously, go for it. The Hub has played host to everything from slick gala dinners to all-out parties and it comfortably hosts up to 200 guests. And there is a kitchen just off the Hub.
