MEANTIME is an artist-run project-space located in central Cheltenham presenting a monthly programme of artists' residencies, exhibitions, workshops, discussions and other live events such as experimental music, film and performance.
MEANTIME was established in 2007 and aims to provide a platform and resource for active engagement in current artistic practice and the representation of ideas. The residency programme supports artists and practitioners to experiment and realise new work; as such the space is a live, thinking/working environment, made and re-made by those who occupy it.
Projects are discussed on the MEANTIME blog where debate and comment is welcomed.
Sign-up to the mailing list or receive notifications through Facebook and occasional utterances on Twitter.
MEANTIME is open for hot drinks and conversation on the first Friday of every month, 10am-12noon.
