Studio 10 Project Space
Located in a red and white striped building on the first floor, Studio 10 functions as a multi-use project space, enabling us to coordinate responsive, more immediate projects alongside our wider exhibition programme at East Quay.
The space creates the opportunity to introduce our audiences to new mediums and contemporary practices, while platforming emerging and underrepresented artists and developing connections with the local community.
Please contact Millie Laing-Tate at millie@containsart.co.uk for more information.
