Grosvenor is converting 3,500 sq ft of office space into affordable artist studios and workspace at its Liverpool ONE scheme in partnership with Liverpool-based social enterprise and art organisation dot-art.
Located at Lord Street, the creative space is dot-art’s largest studio to date and can accommodate up to 20 local artists.
Lucy Byrne, managing director of dot-art, which was founded in 2006, said: “As a social enterprise, dot-art supports visual artists and champions creativity as an integral part of daily life. Our work wouldn’t be possible without collaborating with property owners that share our core values and Liverpool ONE’s commitment to celebrating and supporting local artisans make them the ideal partner for us. We are extremely proud to have launched our largest studio space to date in Liverpool ONE, offering affordable workspaces to the local artist community.”
Chris Jukes, director of Liverpool ONE, Grosvenor, added: “Hosting affordable artist studios within Liverpool ONE reinforces our sustained commitment to supporting local businesses and ensures a diverse tenant mix across the destination. We have always been a proud and active contributor to the Liverpool city region and we are delighted to be collaborating with dot-art on this brilliant use of space, allowing us to further champion the creativity of our community.”
