The Living Studio Project at Whitechapel Gallery
Aldgate Connect are proud to support Whitechapel Gallery’s new The Living Studio!
The Living Studio offers a free, live studio experience for visitors of all ages. These project galleries have been designed with making in mind, filled with fascinating objects, books, artistic materials and prompts for activity, drawing upon the creative energy of contemporary artists’ studios.
Studios are increasingly under threat in London and many other cities, with rising rents and urban development making it harder for artists to afford the spaces they need. Specialist arts provision is also at risk within many schools and colleges. The Living Studio highlights the crucial importance of spaces and programmes dedicated to creativity.
