Temporary closure of the Study Room throughout August

The Board of Trustees of the Live Art Development Agency (LADA) are delighted to announce the appointment of Cat Sheridan as Co-Chair, following an international recruitment process.

We are changing the name of our retail publishing initiative to Live Art Bookshop.

We are looking for new Co-Chairs and Trustees to join our Board.

We are delighted to welcome the Stock Check group that will meet over four evening gatherings at LADA from July to October.

LADA welcomes Samra Mayanja, Claudia Palazzo and Symoné as Artists in Residence between April and December 2025.

As Tate Modern celebrates the incredible career of Leigh Bowery, LADA has compiled a selection of materials from the Study Room which situate his work within Live Art practices and draw attention to the cultural and societal contexts in which he worked. 

Following on from the year-long project Pathways Home, Poppy Jackson will be selling a collection of limited editions and original artworks exclusively through Unbound until May 2025. 

LADA will be closed 8th-19th August inclusive, the Garrett Centre will not be open to the public and most operations will be paused. From 20th August on, you can book to visit the Study Room via our Eventbrite page.
