Intra Arts

Intra Arts Medway based arts venue and not-for-profit organisation, hosting creative events, classes, activities & studios, & access to specialist arts equipment.

We're in the Old High Street, Intra - where Rochester meets Chatham. We run an arts programme with workshops and events, and have one of the best collections in Kent of arts equipment accessible to the general public. We have built a friendly community of people interested in creativity of all kinds, and welcome people of all age, ability and circumstances. People come to us to learn specialist sk

ills, make things in company, to get a break from the stresses of their lives, to work on projects and all sorts of other reasons. We don't require membership, and we keep prices affordable. There is a lovely workshop space where we run a programme of creative activities. The space can also be hired by groups or individuals to host meetings, parties or classes. The studios at INTRA are occupied by artists who bring and share their expertise and equipment with the community. We have Medway Fine Printmakers running a fantastic print studio with an excellent range of presses and courses spanning intaglio, stencil, and relief printing. Unravel & Unwind offer a craft drop-in community centre where you can learn skills from crochet to decoupage, or just bring along a project you are working on and make it in company. We have a small shop of hand printed gifts, stationery and textiles - many made on the premises, and James Worse makes letterpressed artworks on his Peerless platen press. INTRA doesn't currently receive funding from any public body, but hopefully we will in the future so that we can offer free and discounted activities.

For last week’s Merch Lab workshops at Rochester Cathedral, the Intra Arts team brought some of our favourite activities to the visitors of this beautiful building, including screen printing, badge making and rubber stamping.

We love the Victorian floor tiles designed by and helped hundreds of people to make souvenirs using these gorgeous features. Scott’s tiles were based on the original medieval designs in the building, and some of the original tile patterns are still there to be seen. He also added an amazing floor tiled zodiac, which can be found in front of the altar.

Our four day residency in the Cathedral was part of the Art on the Delta exhibition, and Intra Arts is one of four local arts organisations to be invited this month to show off what we do with commissioned free workshops. We had an incredible time.

This week it’s MESS ROOM and if you visit there will be an array of great activities to take part in. Sun Pier House | Arts Organisation is up next week, and Ideas Test were in residency for the first week.

features artworks at scale by local artists throughout the cathedral, and there’s also the summer favourite - crazy golf to play outside.

Many thanks to Rochester Cathedral for inviting us, and for her wonderful support and vision. Also a big thank you to the for funding Art on the Delta.
