Metal works nationally and internationally, as well as deeply within communities, to inspire positive change through art and creativity.
We are currently based in Liverpool (since 2004); Peterborough (since 2011) working across Cambridgeshire; and Southend (since 2007) working across South Essex. Our three inspiring buildings are relaxed, welcoming and flexible spaces. They are usually busy with artists and communities meeting, sharing food, making art or dropping in. In Liverpool, we work from Edge Hill Station the world’s oldest active passenger station; in Peterborough from Chauffeurs Cottage which was the original gatehouse property to the cathedral; and in Southend at Chalkwell Hall with stunning views over the Thames Estuary. We were invited to these places by local authorities, Arts Council England and other partners who shared our belief in art’s importance for community building, celebrating and organising.
