Artsadmin


Artsadmin is a UK-based organisation founded in 1979 by Judith Knight, MBE and Seonaid Stewart, providing project management, advisory support and resources for artists working in the fields of new theatre, dance, music, live art and mixed media work. Artsadmin has established a range of new opportunities for artists with a bursary and mentoring scheme, a full-time advisory service, education programme and a programme of showcases.
Based at Toynbee Studios in East London, Artsadmin offers rehearsal studios and workspaces for artists. The building was refurbished in 2006 and includes six rehearsal and performance spaces, eight office spaces occupied by artists, companies and arts organisations, and an Arts Bar & Café.
Directors Gil Lloyd and Judith Knight received MBEs for their services to the arts in the New Years Honours 2008.
Artsadmin works with promoters, producers and other arts organisations in the UK and internationally to develop audiences for the work of its artists, and with other partner organisations on the development of support schemes and resources for artists. The organisation is funded predominantly through an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation grant.
The bi-annual 2 Degrees festival explores Climate Change through art.
Artsadmin delivers the Arts Council's Unlimited project with Shape Arts, a programme of support for Deaf and disabled artists.
