Acme Studios, supporting art and artists since 1972

Property Portfolio

Acme Artists Studios Limited was established in 1972 as Acme Housing Association to provide affordable studio and living space for artists in economic need. It has helped over 5,000 artists, converted over 25 major buildings to non-residential studios and refurbished and managed over 400 short-life houses. In recent years it has pioneered the development of work/live space, new-build studio design, and the use of planning-gain to create new affordable studios in partnership with commercial and social property developers.
