We held our Central Saint Martins degree show at this venue and it’s quite fantastic in that they allow you to set up your walls/paint/demolish as you wish granted that you pay for the privilege, of course. With that said, it’s a big and somewhat accessible venue and easy to get to from Central London.

I went to view the degree show of design students from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. The 2 storey plus basement gallery space is a large warehouse building reinvented to a gallery space like many in the area. Very basic in layout, the students had enhanced the scale of space with their artifacts. Large iron columns dominate the space which are painted in silver, but the generosity of light illuminating the gallery is not common. Its the selling point I see for the gallery and is also one of the biggest in the vicinity. The management is very friendly and accomodating, a few props stored in the gallery are of good use in exhibitions at no added cost. The idea of converting 2 Victorian warehouses inot gallery space, artists studios, banqueting, conference and screening rooms including rehersal space is a bonus. Even if your not going to view an exhibition this centre has a bohemian café, great to network within the circle of profession.

If you’re fond of art(read: paintings, sculptors or any work of art), then the Candid Galleries of the Candid Arts Trust is the perfect place to step in. This was the place where I actually interviewed Richard Batty! Candid Arts always has ongoing events at their galleries, some free and some with registration fee, so all you need is to log on to their site or just drop in there if you’re in Angel. It’s right around the corner from Angel tube station.
