Rivington Place
Rivington Place, opening on 5 October, will be the first permanent space
in the UK dedicated to culturally diverse visual arts in the UK.
It celebrates the 20 year vision of two organisations: inIVA (the Institute
of International Visual Arts) and Autograph ABP of establishing a permanent
home to profile international issues and perspectives in contemporary
art and photography and to lead debate on diversity.
The building, by award-winning architect David Adjaye OBE, is the first
new-build public gallery in London since the Hayward Gallery opened in
1968. The building contains two project spaces capable of housing exhibitions,
film screenings and talks; the Stuart Hall Library; an education space;
a café; workspaces for local creative businesses and the offices
of inIVA and Autograph ABP
Rivington Place is supported by a £5.9 million Arts Council England
Lottery Capital 2 programme grant. Barclays is the Rivington Place founding
corporate partner, contributing £1.1m toward the development.
