Area10 is an artist-led initiative working from the vast premises of Eagle Wharf in Peckham, SE15

Area10 is an artist-led initiative working from the vast premises of Eagle Wharf in Peckham Square, behind the landmark of Peckham Library. In 2002, the derelict premises were given by Southwark Council to a group of artists for temporary use for arts based works and events.

Area10 was set up as an artist-led project, self-organising, self-curating and self-funding. Area10 has had a very organic and experimental structure as the project has always been deemed temporary. Three years down the line, Area10 has generated an extensive number and range of public events, which is exemplary of an experimental, cross-disciplinary and collaborative arts practice.

Area10 is currently undergoing structural changes and will re-launch itself as part of the NODE.London season. Area10 will continue artist-led enquiry, artform cross-pollination, experimentation, new media, collaboration between artists, organisations, groups and communities and advance the notions of Area10 at its inception.
