Develop a creative and cultural facility in Rye for the benefit of the community
“Rye Creative Centre has such a vibrant and creative community. It’s a stimulating and supportive environment in which to develop as an artist and share practice.”
Jenny Edbrooke, artist and studio holder
“Eight years ago, just before moving from London to Rye I found these studios online. Within a week of moving house and family I'd signed a contract for a small studio space to share with two jewellers. It was the best decision I have ever made! It immediately placed me within the local art community.
It's a perfect melange of creatives all in one building at different stages of their careers. A few of us give workshops so if you need to learn new skills the possibilities are there and the support. There is always someone who can add to the conversation.”
Stephanie Rubin, artist and studio holder
