Temporary closure of the Study Room throughout August

We have taken the decision to temporarily close our Study Room throughout the month of August.

We understand the convenience and benefits that the Study Room provides for its visitors, so we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this closure may cause.

We are currently undergoing a staff recruitment process, in conjunction with our new board and Director. While this undertaking is essential to enhancing your experience with us, it does regrettably limit our capacity to maintain the Study Room’s operations during this transitional period.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

Find out more about what the Study Room offers

The Study Room is a free, open access research facility for artists, students, curators, academics and other arts professionals and can be used to view artists’ work, read publications, undertake research projects, and find out general information about Live Art, opportunities and networks.
