Building creative communities through exhibitions, events, and more. Artists Studio Company (ASC) is a London based registered charity founded in 1995. Our core aims are to support artists and makers, promote the arts and educate the public in the arts. We are the leading affordable workspace provider to artists and makers in London. We currently support over 800 practitioners and to date we have

managed a total of 22 buildings. 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 aim to support creative people from all economic backgrounds and of course from all ethnic backgrounds. We strongly believe art can only be truly relevant when it is open to all.
