Hypha Studios will open Hypha Gallery South Bank on 25th June, transforming a vacant office building near Tate Modern into a major cultural hub. The 9,000 sqft site includes exhibition spaces, artist studios, a project space, and a showroom for Hypha Curates, supporting around 600 artists through exhibitions, studio provision, and sales platforms. Developed with HUB and Bridges Fund Management, the hub launches with three exhibitions exploring connection, movement, and ecological systems, and offers free studio space to 17 artists from collective Lobby.
This project matters because it demonstrates how underused urban buildings can be repurposed into thriving cultural centers, addressing the critical need for affordable artist workspace in London. Hypha Studios has already delivered over 170 exhibitions across 70 UK sites, and this expansion significantly scales its model of temporary cultural activation, providing vital support for emerging artists while offering developers a blueprint for integrating culture into vacant spaces.
