Announced last year, A House for Artistsis a new, affordable block of 12 apartments in Barking Town Centre, delivered in partnership with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’s Be First, with support from the Mayor of London. It will house 12 artists and their families, provide studio workspaces, a shared courtyard, and be home to a community hall on the ground floor. The community hall will be programmed and staffed by the resident artists as part of a new kind of active tenancy designed specifically for the building.
