About the venue
edit198 Contemporary Arts and Learning, founded in 1989, is a visual arts space which has helped to nurture the careers of emerging artists, particularly those from culturally diverse backgrounds.
Initially 198 focused on the need to provide a platform for Afro-Caribbean artists as part of the Black Arts Movement and, more recently, on projects by artists whose work investigates emerging cultural identities.
