Our Mission

Outer Spaces is a charity collaborating with artists, arts organisations and property owners to activate the nation’s empty commercial spaces.

We support artists locked out of unaffordable spaces and oversubscribed opportunities. 

At Outer Spaces, our network can access free meanwhile space and development opportunities. Our programme explores new models and directions for curating, commissioning and collaborative working. We create the conditions for artists to take the lead and give cultural networks the opportunity to thrive.

We nurture creativity through opportunity. Our radically inclusive approach removes financial barriers and empowers artists to expand their practice.

Sustain

We recognise the importance of artists in a just society and value the role of community as part of artistic practice.

Accelerate

We create the conditions for artists to take the lead and give cultural networks the opportunity to thrive.
