Cell Project Space is a not-for-profit gallery space[1] and workspace provider[2] based in Cambridge Heath, East London.[3] Cell Project Space presents up to 5 exhibitions and 3-4 events per year and supports the dissemination of artists’ knowledge to the local community through workshops.

History

Cell Project Space is an independent gallery founded in 1999 by directors Milika Muritu and Richard Priestley that was originally set up as an artist-run exhibition space and is now a registered charity, Cell Foundation. The organisation provides affordable workspace, which in turn supports an on-going programme of exhibitions, projects, talks, screenings, and events. The programme facilitates local and global critical debates while supporting underrepresented artists, collaborating with established and emerging practitioners to present varied formats for exhibition making. Cell extends the gallery's visibility with collective participation through tours and workshops for local secondary schools and the wider community.

Cell Project Space and Studios, established in 1999, and charity arm Cell Foundation, founded in 2014, are an affordable artists work space providing leasehold work space to 1097 artists and designer-makers at 7 sites / 147,000 sq ft of B1 work space in east and South East London. As an independent not for profit gallery all funds raised are used solely for the development of artists’ projects and the gallery's public programme.[4][5][6]

This generates funds that are used to run the programme in the exhibition space located on Cambridge Heath Road. This also allows support for the internship and educational programmes at the gallery.
