Artist’s Development Scheme
Learn more about the ways we support and work with artists
Our mission at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre is to champion and support Black artists and Black-led creative projects working in a range of disciplines, from theatre, dance and visual art to music, writing and film.
We have a number of opportunities for emerging and established artists, producers and creative collectives to develop their work, including sessions where you can get advice from members of our artistic team, funding and grant writing workshops, networking opportunities and use of our facilities.

STAMP (Supporting Theatre Artists and Makers of Performance)
We are part of a network of 48 venues and organisations based in London who support and produce new theatre and performance work.
STAMP’s mission is practical collective action to improve the ways in which artists are supported by our organisations and the industry, and are valued in society more widely.
CREATIVE SPACES
Our three spacious studio spaces are perfect for rehearsals, scratch performances, workshops and film projects. Each studio is purpose-built with sprung floors, natural daylight and blackout blinds, and include generous changing rooms and showers.
