HYPHA STUDIOS

We promote the creative arts in all its forms in particular but not exclusively by improving public education, interest, and appreciation in all forms of the creative arts. We provide affordable workspace for creatives to make work while also creating a public programme of exhibitions, workshops, performances and events and encouraging access to the visual arts for the general public.
