Workspace: Studio Space

The Ladyburn Centre has a long history of life in the Inverclyde area. Formerly The Ladyburn School for many many years, new life has been given to this building by Riverside Inverclyde who have redeveloped the building into The Ladyburn Business Centre.

There are 6 studio spaces available on the Ground Floor facing west to capture as much natural light as possible and overlook the new Riverside Business Park.

.

• Artists can access their Studio 24/7
• Electricity and telephone bills will be the responsibility of those renting the space
• One months notice of vacation required
• Sharing of studio space will be an agreement between artists with Riverside Inverclyde being fully notified
• Studio space will be soley for the visual arts
• For noise reasons performance arts will not be included in what is a working building
• Studios will be allocated to local artists on a first come basis
• As the centre becomes more popular with artists and if there is a waiting list, then Riverside Inverclyde will consider increasing the studio space availability.

GALLERY/ CAFÉ
There will be a gallery space come meeting area within the main building, this area has plenty of natural light.

An up market café is being established in the old janitor’s bungalow just as you come into the Business Centre.

Another larger and dedicated gallery / exhibition space will be created with a direct glass walkway from the Café.

The Gallery area within the main Ladyburn Business Centre will not be open to the public other than by special opening nights and by personal invitation. The reason for this is that it will be a working building with lots of private offices leading off the meeting area.

The Artistic work on exhibition within the Business Centre will be seen by all other persons working within the building and their visitors.
