Judith Knight
Since its establishment in 1979, Artsadmin has been a vehement supporter of artists working across all disciplines. It has played an indispensable role in developing cutting-edge and interdisciplinary artworks mainly in the United Kingdom. Among the diverse activities that they realize are: the production of arts projects; the development of young talents through various programmes for emerging artists; the realization of the Unlimited programme together with Shape, funded by Arts Council England, which is a project that celebrates the works of deaf and disabled artists on an unprecedented scale; the management of the Toynbee Studios in East London, including the renting of five rehearsal spaces and the 280-seat theatre; and work within the European art organizations network Imagine 2020, which aims at supporting artistic work that explores causes and effects of climate change. Judith Knight, the founding director of Artsadmin spoke to us to discuss the expansive activities that have developed over the course of three decades.
