CoExist Galleries & Studios @ TAP The Old Water Works North Road, Southend on Sea, Essex, SS0 7AB
A bit of background:
CoExist worked in partnership with Metal in September/October 2008. Using the ground floor of Chalkwell Hall, CoExist organised and ran “Project Lulu” - 6 mini-exhibitions over two months, showcasing local UEL MA Graduates, an installation art project space, a touring Posters and Poetry exhibition and three open submission group shows.
During 2009 CoExist continued to work in partnership with Metal, and with Essex & Suffolk Water (ESW) to create TAP - a cross discipline working space for Southend on sea. This brings together five local arts organisations and the project will run for roughly two years.
TAP is the current home of us ->CoExist, The White Bus, Level 4 Magazine, and Idea13.
