Artists workspaces (data captured in March 2018) (48.75 kB)
Sites with buildings which provide workspace either soley for artists or a mixture of artists and other creative industries tenants. Artistic activity is defined as a fine artist whose visual output and medium involves the production of original works of research, exploration or artistic expression, either one-of-a-kind or in a limited number of copies. Activity in this context is not driven by commercial gain (although they are by no means prohibited from having this). The approach to the production of art is driven by the artist, not the client.
Sites may also provide for a mix of creative tenants as well as artists.
