White House Visit to Cubitt
Thursday 12th September
1:00pm-4:30pm (including travel time)
Meeting at 1pm at Chadwell Heath Station
Join The White House for a trip to Cubitt, an artist-led co-operative built on a belief in the value of art and artists in society based in Islington, London. Founded by a group of artists in 1991, Cubitt consists of a non-profit gallery, 32 co-operatively run artist studios and a locally-focused education programme.
We will meet with Cubitt’s Education Programme Managers, Lydia Ashman and Esther Collins for a tour, to hear more about what Cubitt do and how they operate as a co-operative.
This visit forms part of Mutual Restructure, a programme of research and activity to explore The White House’s structure; interrogating its model, governance systems, decision-making processes, how it operates and cooperates, to move towards a new model of independence.
If you are interested in joining us for the trip or for more information please email Charlie on charlie@createlondon.org
The White House will cover London travel costs for the trip, please note there are a limited amount of spaces.
About Cubitt:
Cubitt is an artist-led co-operative built on a belief in the value of art and artists in society. Cubitt enables contemporary visual arts practice to thrive as a critical, peer-led activity. This is achieved through the provision of co-operatively run studios in central London and unique development opportunities for curators interwoven with curatorial and artistic programmes, driven by an engagement with learning, participation and the social possibilities for art.
