The studio is located in the W1 district of Worcester and we are just outside the centre of town, we are hidden away on the corner of Chestnut Walk and Landsdowne Road behind Chestnut Cottage. So you will need to seek us out, please don't feel intimidated about crossing the drive to access the gallery.
The building started life in and around 1880 as a coach house with accommodation for two horses and a carriage, and may have been in the employment of the Georgian houses from either Britannia Square or the estate up on the hillside over the canal. It went through many changes in commercial use and at one point was a abattoir for the slaughter of livestock and indeed Chestnut Walk and our cottage was once known as cut-throat cottage and cut-throat lane. We found it in 2002 in a state of disrepair derelict and rotting over the following three years we have refurnished the building and lanscaped the surrounding garden.
The renovated coach-house space has 24m2 floor space with over 50m2 of wall space.
we boast:
Audio and visual projection for new media artists.
Professional artefact handling and display experience.
Security; alarmed and equipped with CCTV.
Full risk assessment and fire procedure.
An outside space.

The gallery is versatile and can house site specific proposals as well as large installations that require a lot of vertical space.
