Welcome to APS (formerly Aire Place Studios)

APS is a creative organisation rooted in equality, solidarity, and care. We provide safer, inclusive spaces for workshops, exhibitions, and community projects that centre accessibility, innovation, and representation. We work with and for underrepresented artists including disabled, queer, neurodivergent, working class, and other marginalised creatives offering meaningful support through coaching, mentoring, and peer-led opportunities. 

APS is also home to a collective of artists and cultural workers committed to reimagining the creative landscape. With empathy and boldness, we build community, challenge exclusion, and make space for voices that are too often overlooked. Whether through exhibitions, pop-up projects, or professional development, our mission is to uplift artists and spark change through collective action.
