Art, Participation, Community, Culture and Learning
We’re Idea Space. We specialise in providing creative opportunities in the arts to all ages and abilities. We start from the community’s needs, and deliver workshops, bespoke co-designed projects, mentoring and training.
We work in partnership with local communities, professional artists, and grassroots organisations to help bridge the gap in access to the creative sector, building skills and confidence in the arts.
We’re based in Leytonstone, East London and also work in other parts of the UK.
