Artspace (Thames Art Gallery)

ARTspace was formed in 2008 as a joint initiative between the Thames Art Gallery and an interested group of Chatham-Kent artists. It has since grown into a cultural hub that represents approximately 30 fine artists and 5 artisans, and offers affordable arts programming to the surrounding community. ARTspace is a not-for-profit gallery dedicated to the promotion and development of Chatham-Kent artists engaged in contemporary visual arts practice. The gallery maintains a special focus on exhibiting and promoting a diversity of artistic practices within the region of Chatham-Kent. In addition to our goal of expanding artistic discourse through exhibition programming, a significant part of the gallery’s vision includes professional development and support. Members are encouraged to access information and skills training offered through the gallery in the form of resources, workshops, studio visits, volunteering opportunities, and gallery openings.
