Somewhere Elsewhere
Somewhere Elsewhere
In the wake of the long, cold winter nights, Somewhere Elsewhere is a visual arts exhibition
about estrangement rooted within our global socio-environmental contexts. We invite you to delve
into our demonstration of grey matters through a range of art disciplines that respond to the
cacophonies of unstable occurrences happening today. This instability has fragmented our senses
and abandoned us in liberty to be Somewhere Elsewhere.
As we contemplate new meanings, we await to situate stray identities, take grasps of what wisdom
may be left, and advance through this blizzard towards a reconfigured self.
The show includes a series of live performances and live reading sessions.

From The Ground Up
From The Ground Up | Critical Edge Collective
Within this concept, the collective sets about building a new ‘library’ from the ground up, each artist bringing with them a small collection of research materials to share with the group that will act as the raw materials from which another artist will respond.
With the hope of encouraging collaboration and discussion with other artists and members of the public, the collective also encourages visitors to the show to make work in response, with resulting artworks being added to the show for some of its duration.
By making new works in response to the research of their peers, the collective undermines the individualism of the current art market and places its emphasis on trust, sharing, learning and enquiry. Through questioning their own working methods and challenging the rigidity of the group show hang, the collective demonstrates its commitment to remaining curious, critical and playful in the face of increasing polarisation and division in the post-truth era.

Proposals
The Project Space is run with the aim of providing affordable exhibition space and a platform for emerging artists, community groups and those who have been unable to find support/space through traditional gallery routes. In doing this we hope to provide a vibrant program of exhibitions for our local community, creating an opportunity for people to enjoy, discuss and engage with contemporary art in an informal and accessible setting. Alongside the program of hire shows we also facilitate larger projects and residencies that focus on our core aims of outreach and community engagement. We are always interested to hear from local artists, curators and community groups with proposals for larger projects or who are interested in forming creative partnerships with the Arthouse.
Lewisham Arthouse is committed to ensuring our Project Space is accessible for anyone to hire. We acknowledge that social barriers may influence participation in, and enjoyment of the arts. In an effort to address this in our local communities, our application process is open to everyone, regardless of age or educational background. We particularly welcome applications from non-white, Black, Asian and minority ethnicity individuals and groups.
Hire Fees – rates from November 2024 as follows:
2 weeks = £500 (Minimum booking)
3 weeks = £695
4 weeks = £860
Due to increased running costs and energy bills, hire fees have increased by 10% as of November 2024. This is inline with an increase in studio rent paid by Arthouse members and will be reviewed regularly.
