Artspace Lifespace is a registered charity in Bristol, dedicated to transforming vacant and under-used properties into thriving creative hubs. They collaborate with artists, property owners, developers, and local communities to repurpose interesting and challenging buildings into versatile art venues. As an advisory body, Artspace Lifespace helps artists and groups interested in taking on empty properties, guiding them on the process of converting these spaces into vibrant creative workshops, studios, galleries, cafés, and training facilities.

They strongly believe that everyone possesses creativity and require spaces to explore and connect with others. Community engagement is at the core of their work. They employ professional artists to co-create ideas with young people, organize workshops, events, and consultations to better understand community needs and experiment with different uses for the buildings.

Their goal is to make each venue self-sustainable, affordable, creative, and inclusive. Additionally, Artspace Lifespace offers affordable spaces for artists to develop and showcase their work across various disciplines. They also provide consultancy services to creatives, architects, planners, and developers, focusing on community engagement for informing new developments.

By revitalizing forgotten spaces, Artspace Lifespace contributes to vibrant communities in Bristol and beyond. Their operations generate savings on empty properties for landlords and reinvest all profits back into the local artist economy. They are part of the Bristol DIY Arts Network, working towards promoting art for the public benefit
