How it started
Adumbration Arts ran a feasibility study in May 2019 looking at demand in the region for studio space. After viewing the disused building and falling in love with it and all the potential it had to offer, took possession in September and it was occupied by artists within a month. The aim of Adumbration Arts is to manage running costs, building management and keep charges low, and have subsidized many improvements along with the Landlords PJ Ayres and associates.
