Our Studios

ROAR strives for a Rotherham that is flourishing with high quality creative activity across all communities and at every stage of people’s lives. We understand that you need space to be creative. For members, we have a variety of studio spaces available, as well as our own resource space that they can use. Resources like a project space with a laser cutter are also available to help students with their creative endeavours.

 
  • ROAR currently has 11 studios at Westgate Chambers. We support a thriving community of talented artists, makers, and creative businesses at ROAR Artspace. From painters and sculptors to designers and educators here are just a few of the artists who create work in our building.

    If you would like to put your name on our waiting list please email: team@rotherhamroar.org

  • The Buzz Gallery Space is an intimate setting that is perfect for displaying artwork in a close and personal manner. This space is ideal for smaller works of art, or for displaying a series of smaller works in a cohesive manner. The warm and inviting atmosphere of the space encourages viewers to take their time in examining the artwork on display.

  • Are your organisation/group looking for some space?

    Perhaps to rehearse for a dance/drama performance or to hold a weekly class? Or perhaps you are after a meeting room in Rotherham town centre?

  • Do you need space to be creative but not ready to commit to a bigger space? We've got 3 free wall/desk spaces available for members to sign up for. This is our version of a starter studio, where you can gain the benefits of all our resources including pottery equipment, a drama space, laser cutter and plotter printer, without the financial commitment of a studio contract. These studio spaces are open during office hours and an availability calendar is updated for these weekly.

    If you are interested in one of these spaces please email us on:
