We're expanding! Again!
That's 9 - 13 Rosemary Street now, thank you very much
Big news roun’ our door - we’re expanding!
In a time of multiple crises across the grassroots arts sector, it feels a bit weird to have been offered to take on the space downstairs (the restaurant-with-a-vape-shop aesthetic, formerly known as Blu), but it is also indicative of the challenges facing the city centre.
Meet 🔹PSBlu🔹 (ₙₒ 𝓌ₑ ₐᵣₑ ₙₒₜ ᵣₑₐₗₗᵧ 𝒸ₐₗₗᵢₙ𝓰 ᵢₜ ₜₕₐₜ). This space will eventually - at some point in 2026 - become our new Project Space. It will take time, money and a lot of labour, but we have a plan!
This space is BIG, wrapping all the way around the ground floor of the building, and will give us that street-level engagement that was such an important part of PS² down through the years. It’s also very accessible throughout. And we will finally have an address that exists on Royal Mail’s system!
Our existing Project Space on the first floor will gradually transform into a few more studios and hot-desking space (as well as some much needed materials storage). We’ll keep PS³ as our experimental space for artist-initiated projects.
It’s more space, but also not more space - it will take us a while to rejig everything and raise the necessary funds for different stages of the work. But the programme that we have committed to for 2025/26 will remain in place.
Keep an eye on the changes to the space on your next trip down Rosemary Street…
