Students
We are your Students Arts & Culture Hub.
We are a flexible space that offers curated events like theatre and shows from top performers, exhibitions exploring diverse topics, creative workshops with talented artists, opportunities for career growth in an accessible centre. Explore at your own time in our galleries and café, or sign up for an event today with a student discount.
We curate four free-to-access gallery spaces hosting a wide range of art pieces from artists all around the world from across the spectrum of artistic disciplines.
See the latest performances from leading artists and companies across the UK, including theatre, dance, music and more, including our weekly free lunchtime concert ‘Soundbites’.
Get hands-on and learn a new skill with our artist-led Creative Courses including oil painting, ceramics, crochet, spoken word poetry and more.
Escape from your studies with our free drop-in craft sessions for UoL students on term-time Wednesday afternoons. From macramé to mindful drawing, cross stitch to soap carving – just swing by and give it a try!
Join us for a late night takeover as we curate a range of live performances in response to our exhibitions, alongside food, drinks and creative activities. Our next event takes place in October.
If you need to find a quiet or inspiring space to study we have places for you. Whether it is within our café, our balcony, or the Salmon Gallery: we have the space for you.
