Idea Space

Idea Space is a community arts charity based in Leytonstone, East London. We create opportunities to experience the arts. We achieve this by running free, high-quality arts workshops and projects, aimed at people who are underrepresented in the arts and creative sectors.

Any donation you can give us will make a huge difference. Our running costs are kept to an absolute minimum but we require around £3,000 a year to maintain our administrative base, write funding applications and submit annual accounts to the Charity Commission. This work is essential for us to continue to offer high-quality arts and learning experiences. Your support will mean that we can reach a wider audience with participants from more diverse backgrounds, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to join our accessible and free art programmes.
