Dirty Art Collective is an artist-led creative space and programme, currently based in South-East London.

We bring together exhibitions, working studios and regular creative events. It is a space for artists to show their work for a prolonged period of time rather than just one-off events.

Through monthly rotating exhibitions, workshops and classes, Dirty Art Collective is building a community that encourages all artists, at every stage of their practice! So, even if it’s your first time picking up a pencil, we’d love to have you with us.
