Profiles
Rivington Place, a new £8m public building, is the first permanent space dedicated to the education of the public in culturally diverse visual arts and photography in the UK.
Rivington Place celebrates the 20 year vision of two charitable organisations, Iniva (the Institute of International Visual Arts) and Autograph ABP. They have created Rivington Place as a permanent home for the education of the public in contemporary art and photography, through profiling international issues and perspectives.
The building, by award-winning architect David Adjaye OBE, is the first new-build public gallery in London since the Hayward Gallery opened in 1968. The 1,445 sq m building contains two project spaces capable of housing exhibitions, film screenings and talks; the Stuart Hall Library; an education space; a café; workspaces leased to independent local creative businesses and the offices of Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) and Autograph ABP. It is set to become an important national resource as well as a local cultural and social hub.
