Art Yard Makers Studio

A PERMANENT AREA OF THE HOTEL, DEDICATED TO ALL THINGS CRAFT.


It’s not just art we love here at Bankside, true to our art school values we are into everything that is creative and more importantly, how it is made. Art Yard Studio is a creative space that provides a home to emerging artists, located next to our restaurant Art Yard Bar & Kitchen, guests and passers-by are encouraged to pop in and watch artists practice their creative expertise. 

The studio is run in collaboration with Contemporary Collective, who champion up-and-coming creatives, to bring an ever-changing programme of makers in residence. Residencies are typically two months, during which time the artists use the space to develop their creative process, showcase their work, as well as hosting a range of workshops

Art Yard Maker’s Studio has an open-house policy, so if you‘re visiting our neighbourhood’s major art galleries, Southbank Centre, Tate Modern or Hayward Gallery why not stop by to see an artist at work.
