Acme

Supporting artists since 1972, Acme is a charity based in London which provides affordable studios, work/ live space, and a programme of artist support. Acme is the single largest provider of affordable artist studios in England, and this year it will support over 800 individual artists across 16 buildings in Greater London.
The Childers Street building is a 1920s built former ship propeller foundry. The brick building was turned into 132 studios by Acme, over four phases starting in 1990, with support from London Borough of Lewisham, Greater London Arts, The Henry Moore Foundation and The Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
