The Art Organisation, Nottingham
3-21 STATION STREET, NG23AJ

The Art Organisation recognizes the importance of providing arts-related equipment and services for artist’s use in their production of new artwork.

Wherever possible we intend to source equipment that can be recycled and put back to use. Quite often many traditional techniques make way for modern adaptations, and the equipment that produce them lie abandoned and forgotten, sometimes broken.

We work closely with our residents to understand the services they have to offer and network into the community.
