Our funders generously support Peckham Space to run three commissions per year alongside a programme of free Art Clubs in school holidays.

Our Critical Friends meet once every two months on a volunteer basis to evaluate and input into Peckham Space’s future activity. The chair reports the results of the Critical Friends group to the Peckham Space Team Meeting one per month, and to the Peckham Space Advisory Group at meetings three times per year.
