Yorkshire Artspace is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, run by a team of seven members of staff and governed by a Board of three Directors.

The Society is a membership organisation owned by its members and all Board meetings are open for members to attend.

Anyone can be a member of Yorkshire Artspace: you must be a member to take on a studio, but the majority of services are open to non-members.

The Society aims to have a 50:50 balance of fine artists and craftspeople as studio holders. Visit the Artists pages to find out more about those based at Yorkshire Artspace.
