SPACE Studios was founded in 1968 by artists Bridget Riley and Peter Sedgley . Their vision was to make space for art and artists and that mission continues today.
At SPACE, our purpose is simple but powerful: to make space for art. We do this by providing affordable studios, supporting artists to develop their practice, and ensuring that our local communities can meaningfully engage with contemporary art.
Our values guide everything we do being innovative, ambitious, and relevant, while remaining accessible, inclusive, and collaborative. We’re proud to currently support around 900 artists across 21 buildings in London.
In November 2019, SPACE opened new artist studios, a gallery and event space in the London Borough of Redbridge. Situated at the rear of Redbridge Town Hall, Ilford, an impressive Grade II listed landmark with a spectacular Art Deco interior, the building provides artists and creatives with affordable workspaces, as well as a free art gallery.
Since opening, SPACE has developed a fantastic programme of exhibitions for the whole community to enjoy, co-created by artists and local residents, as well as regular free creative workshops and events for people of all ages and abilities. We have won the Redbridge Art & Culture Award two years running, as voted for by local people.
Ilford is just 5 minutes by train from Stratford, while the Elizabeth Line connects the town centre to London’s West End in 15 minutes.
