Welcome to our creative community

South Bank Studios is a creative community of artists, established in 2018. There are now 19 artists in residence, with their studios here at South Bank Studios, on the vibrant Bishy Road in the South Bank area of York. Our artists work across a range of disciplines that includes: painting, textile art, installation art, jewellery and metalwork, printmaking, collage, photography, theatre and social design.


As well as providing studio space, South Bank Studios also has lots of other creative opportunities. Our artists run art classes and a wide variety of creative workshops, as well as monthly drawing and crafting groups. We hold regular exhibitions including our annual Winter Fair in November (great for find Christmas gifts from local artists and makers), Open Studios in April and other events throughout the year. We are also involved with a weekly gallery cafe too on Saturdays.
