Ground Floor at Present Tense
About this space
We offer 30m2 on the ground floor and a 30m2 workshop basement floor. The ground floor has a functioning kitchen, including industry standard dishwasher, so can be used to host dinners, supper clubs and food based celebrations.
A blank canvas for ideas, celebration, and exploration to take place. Designed for adaptability, the concept space offers a shared long-table and chairs set into well-lit distilled space, that can be used as a platform to showcase creative projects, host gatherings, and experiment freely. As a “small g” gallery, this area offers creators a chance to share their work with the wider community, without being confined to traditional frameworks. This space is both hosted in and attended by the different layers of our community.
