Artistic Spaces: Joe and George's Journey

Joe and George from London started a company called Artistic Spaces. They now have roughly half a million square footage of warehouses which they rent out to artists.

They began about 12 years ago by taking on a warehouse in South London and dividing spaces to create opportunities for artists to create and musicians to have studios. I am inspired by their ethic to think big and not be afraid to fail because you won't do anything original if you think like that.

But so much is about the grind. People often want to think and dream big, but they don't want to do the steps to get there. There are no shortcuts. It's just years and years of putting that effort in.

During the challenging time of COVID, they gave up spaces to store medical supplies and help create facilities for doctors. They have one of London's largest square footage of artist spaces and workshops and are my inspiration.
