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.
The address is the Old Water Works, North Road, Southend-on-sea SS0 7AB. We are centrally located for South East Essex College Campus, Focal Point Gallery and the Beecroft Gallery, and local shops.

Getting here
The building is well served by local train and bus links, therefore we advocate the use of public transport and pedal power. If you are travelling by car there is a large car park near to the building, and limited parking access will be available onsite for studio artists and disabled visitors only.
