Since 2013, we’ve transformed two empty commercial buildings into a thriving arts space, now home to 28 studio units spread across three floors.

Our very first studio resident moved in at the start of our journey in January 2013, and since then, we’ve welcomed over a hundred artists into our creative community.

Each studio varies in size but all benefit from large windows with stunning views of the River Medway – the perfect source of inspiration!

Our Artists & Creative Community

Sun Pier House is home to 28 working studios shared by 33 professional artists and makers. Undoubtedly forming one of the most diverse and vibrant creative communities on the riverside.

Our residents represent a wide range of contemporary art and craft practices. Within our building you’ll find a tattooist, stop-motion animator, silversmith, performance artist, milliner, illustrator, graphic designer, painter, photographer and many more creative professionals working across disciplines.

Together, our residents reflect the strength and diversity of contemporary creative practice today. With every visit to Sun Pier House, you are not just stepping into a gallery, you are entering a working community of artists and makers shaping the cultural life of our area every day.

Curious to see inside our artist studios?

Once a year, our residents open their doors to the public, showcasing their work and sharing insights into their creative process. This takes place during Medway Open Studios, a free annual event held every July across Medway.
