I am one of three art professionals who run the hARTslane art gallery and project space in South-East London. 

Located in an old garage in New Cross Gate, the gallery space is approximately 80 square metres.

This building is owned by Lewisham Council and we are in negotiations with officials about formalising a long-term rental agreement so we can raise funds to make improvements to the property.

In recent years we have done some “immediate repair” works to the building, such as strengthening walls, levelling the floor, patching up the roof, and renewing the lighting and electrics, etc.

We have also made the interior more attractive by opening the spaces up, exposing the roof and walls, cutting open sections of the roof and adding polycarbonate rooflights, which have transformed the space by letting in more daylight.

On this page you can see the plans I have drawn up for the refurbishment and reconfiguration of the space (when the funds become available).

This will involve an added mezzanine floor, new roof and walls, a new front entrance, and generally better use of the space for future art, theatre and design projects.
