ACAVA

We’re really proud of what we have achieved with our community and collaborators this year. We've supported 400 artists and creatives with studios in 15 buildings across eight London boroughs and sites in Stoke-on-Trent and Essex – including taking over the running of an arts and community hub in Camden.

6,700 people took part in our 380 events, exhibitions and creative workshops. Rooted in the belief to fair access to creativity, space and expression our community programmes welcomed 170 families to our school holiday and creative gardening sessions and 3,100 people spent time tinkering and socialising in our community makerspace.

We created new events that brought participants of all ages together, launched bespoke workshops for team building in our makerspace, delivered a new ACAVA Talks professional development series, collaborated with partners including the and and welcomed four artists-in-residence.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and collaborated with us in 2025, helping us to deliver our vision of Creativity with Social Purpose.

Wishing all our community a joyful holiday season and creative new year. Stay tuned for what we have in store for 2026!
