CLAY was an artist-led space that we worked with as part of our Guild programme from 2018 to 2023.
CLAY was a centre for boundary-testing live artworks that provoke, experiment, and promote social change. With a heavy heart, they closed their doors on 31st July 2024.
They strived to create a community-driven space where audiences, participants and artists were able to express themselves and see themselves reflected in the work they do. They aimed to improve access to interdisciplinary, contemporary live artworks and experiences, and believed Live Art practice has the potential to instigate social change.
CLAY enabled the public to experience artistic events of a type that they would be unlikely to encounter elsewhere, through the presentation of works by artists whose practice is hard to define and by supporting risk and experimentation. They were a touring venue and a space to make art and performance as well as a home for their studio community.
CLAY was part of our Guild cohort.
