The Art Station is a charity arts organisation, having developed a new workspace for the creative industries in Saxmundham. Having completed a major refurbishment of the first floor of a former 1950’s telephone exchange and post office, The Art Station’s unique venue has become a base for a FREE dynamic and engaging arts and community programme that serves the local community and coastal Suffolk.
We aim to unlock potential and effect real change – enabling people to come together to form communities around the creative industries and tech. By providing affordable creative space for local artists, makers and tech developers, alongside exhibition and event spaces, The Art Station is developing new networks in the region and provides access to unique creative opportunities.
The Art Station’s innovative Art and Learning Programme comprises exhibitions, events, talks and screenings, with sessions for children and young people built around the programme to offer access to and increase engagement with contemporary creative practice.
Our community activities offer a range of accessible creative opportunities for different social groups in the local area with an emphasis on art, wellbeing and collaboration.
We have a range of studio, co-working and project spaces available.

“The creation of studios, work spaces and a meeting point for the cultural and creative community in rural East Suffolk, has the potential to build the local economy and sense of place.”
