| SPACE Arts Development |
SPACE manages the tenancy of The Malthouse and also runs a development programme from the ground floor. Founded in 1968, SPACE produces dynamic environments where individuals and communities can engage in creative processes. SPACE supports artistic production by developing and managing studio space, widens participation in visual arts & media, fostering the creative potential of individuals and communities. Our mission is to provide ‘space to create’: supporting the creation of art through the provision of creative environments; ‘space to engage’: widening engagement in artistic practices; and ‘space to develop’: supporting the development of creative individuals and communities.SPACE fulfils its mission through the provision of affordable studio space, innovative artistic, educational, media & training programmes that benefit both the individual and the community. Current projects include the Artists Programme in which students at Eastbrook and Barking Abbey schools work with international artist Godfried Donkor to produce a new installation on the ground floor of The Malthouse based on his original SPACE commission: Story of a London Township.
