STANLEY ARTS 

Stanley Arts aims to be one of South London's premiere arts and performance venues, providing our local community with a vital home for cultural expression and discovery. As a radically inclusive space we seek to foreground under-represented voices, providing artists of colour and LGBTQIA creatives with a platform to reach out to audiences across South London and beyond.
