History

Bermondsey Project Space was founded in London as a

gallery in October 2015 to encourage personal development through visual art and support the fusion of art, photography and culture. The

seed funding was spearheaded by Mark Thackara (Europe) and David Ivens (UK) from an original proposal from State/F22 magazine. The Bermondsey Project Space also had Olympus' partners in Amsterdam, Berlin and Hamburg. Initially for one year, the Olympus/State partnership lasted for three years due to the success of the project. From March 2018 onward the gallery has worked independently with numerous small partnerships and sponsors to realise the exhibition programme - guided by the Artistic Director and full time Director. The gallery is run to a Foundation Charity criteria and has a board of 12 governors. It still receives minor financial support from State Media (State/F22 magazine). In 2018, the gallery was shortlisted for two of Southwark Council's "Southwark Business Excellence Awards".
