Art.Culture.Community.
XYZ is is an impact-driven platform supporting artists in developing their practice, networks, and careers, combining physical spaces, digital tools, and interdisciplinary programmes to strengthen artists independence and autonomy.
Mission We empower artists to create, collaborate, and grow. XYZ supports artists in building sustainable businesses through subsidised physical spaces, an open-source digital toolbox, and access to mentorship and global networking opportunities — connecting creativity directly to practice and accelerating artistic development. In parallel, XYZ generates new opportunities for innovative and community-focused property development.
Subsidised Physical Spaces & Programmes
XYZ is a charity-partnered organisation building arts and community programmes in alternative and disused spaces. We support both emerging and established artists of all disciplines with space in kind for workshops, 3–6 month projects, exhibitions, performances, screenings, and more. These subsidised spaces allow artists to focus on practice while engaging with the wider community.

By offering diverse and tailored programming, XYZ supports artists in developing and positioning their practice, research, and professional network, thereby strengthening the contemporary art scene at large..
