About the NFASP

The National Federation of Artists’ Studio Providers (NFASP) is the professional membership body representing the interests of all those engaged in providing and developing affordable affordable studio space for artists in the UK.

The NFASP supports and promotes the role and activities of studio providers and campaigns to secure, sustain, improve and increase affordable studio provision in the UK.

The Federation works on behalf of a sector that is both distinct and diverse, from small unincorporated groups providing space for a handful of artists, to large organisations managing property portfolios with many hundreds of studios. The studios sector in the UK comprises some 147 organisations, managing nearly 270 buildings, providing studios for more than 6,000 artists across the UK.

Whether you are a studio group or organisation, artist, developer, local authority, housing association - anyone with an interest in developing studios for artists - we can offer you advice, guidance and access to resources and networks. Visit other sections of our website to:
