ARTspace was formed in 2008 as a joint initiative between the Thames Art Gallery and an interested group of Chatham-Kent artists. ARTspace is a not-for-profit gallery dedicated to the promotion and development of Chatham-Kent artists engaged in contemporary visual arts practice. The gallery maintains a special focus on exhibiting and promoting a diversity of artistic practices within the region of Chatham-Kent.
In addition to our goal of expanding artistic discourse through exhibition programming, a significant part of the gallery’s vision includes professional development and support.
