OT Creative Space

OT Creative Space is a creative hub bringing together both the community of Old Trafford and socially engaged artists. Their aim is to inspire, support and encourage creative practices, with a bias towards the visual arts. OT Creative Space does this through shared space, collaborative work and opportunities that reflect the diversity and environment of the area they are situated in.

Curious? Head to the weekly drop in every Wednesday from 1-3pm for a brew on the bench, to have a chat, see the studio and find out what they're about. You can view OT Creative Space's window gallery from the pavement every day between 9am and 10pm, with exhibitions changing every few weeks. There's also a regular programme of workshops, classes and events on site.

The community space at OT Creative Space is available for hire for your own workshops or events, and there's an affordable shared artist studio space in the basement area along with an accessible studio at the rear of the community space.
