Making Space for Art, For Future Generations
Have you thought about leaving a gift that will last generations? Donating to Creative Land Trust in your will can create lasting opportunities for artists and makers of the future.
Artists are being pushed out of London and with them we lose the creativity and diversity that makes our country special and successful. Without access to affordable studio space artists won’t have the space to experiment, innovate, try and fail. Without artist studios, our world-class West End theatre production, ballet, opera and film production will become lacklustre; our catwalks will no longer be at the avant-garde of the fashion industry, and new art in the exhibitions we visit will no longer challenge us.
With your support, Creative Land Trust can help artists and creative practitioners for generations to come, by securing long-term affordable workspace, enhancing creativity and securing sustainable practices.
Hear from our artists
“Some of my friends here had struggled to find affordable spaces in London, often venturing far from the city center to find anything, really. I’d say I’m pretty lucky to get this space, it’s so affordable. It’s pretty much in central London, and the area around it is amazing. It’s very creative. It’s got a very good vibe.” Zarina Khan, Artist

“Living in London, specifically East London, is something that’s extremely important to me; and [because of Creative Land Trust] we can stay in London and make work and meet other artists, which is a huge part of our work. The community is so important.” Lindsay Mapes, Artist
