Euroart is a not-for-profit
social-action organisation working through the arts to provide affordable studio spaces,
facilities and opportunities for artists and makers and, to create opportunities for
people to participate in artistic experiences.
We are committed to bringing contemporary art practice to the local community and beyond
and have a constantly evolving programme of creative work.
Established in 2002 by professional artist/curator Lorraine Clarke and space projects
quality engineer Nigel Young, in an old rag-trade factory, Euroart has been obliged to
make way for a new stadium.Euroart is presently
re-locating to Gaunson House, Markfield Road, N15 4QQ less than 5 minutes walk from
Seven Sisters tube station.
Euroarts new complex of 34 studios of various sizes will host
artists/creative businesses who will be recipient to various business support services,
such as, organisation of annual open studios events, off-site
exhibitions and provision of information on business & network opportunities, and
business mentoring. Pro-actively managed, Euroart promotes the work of its resident
artists/creative businesses. Euroart also provides work experience opportunities to the
volunteer sector.
Euroart has delivered art workshops in the studios and across the borough; has been
proactive in Tottenham Carnival and Northumberland Park Community festivals; and last July
presented, on the commercial site where it's located, the 1st Euroart Live Festival, an
artistic initiative showcasing live art performances drawn from diverse cultures.

Excitingly,
Euroart also creates projects involving local organisations with the creative businesses
located at its studios e.g. costumes design (for children), a parade float (for a local
property developer) and artistic design of an Adventurous Play Park.
Located on Markfield Road we are close to many transport links, shops, bank, post office,
restaurants, supermarkets, hardware store, timber yard and other amenities.
