A PROJECT to create affordable artist studios at St Bernard’s Chapel in Ealing has won £530,000 from the Mayor of London.
The Grade-II listed chapel is located next to Catalyst Housing’s 270 new-build development, St Bernard’s Gate on the border of Hanwell and Southall.
There will be 20-25 studios over two floors as well as an exhibition and project space for the artist tenants.
Catalyst, which owns the chapel and much of the surrounding land, will match the Mayor’s funding and architects Acme will help with the design and manage the space once building is complete.
The Mayor’s Good Growth Fund is for projects that put communities at the heart of regeneration.
