Robinson Road is a mid-19th century former brush factory, converted by Acme into artist studios in 1981. Since then, more than 250 artists have worked in the building during their time with Acme.

Today, Robinson Road is home to nearly 70 artists across almost 50 studios, alongside our friends at Auto Italia. On Friday 17 July, Auto Italia will extend their gallery opening hours from 12-9pm, offering visitors the opportunity to see Sensual & Mutual, Del LaGrace Volcano’s first major institutional solo exhibition in the UK.

Join us to explore the building’s history alongside the wide range of spaces and practices that continue to shape Robinson Road today. We hope to see you there!

Please note that Robinson Road consists of five buildings. Unfortunately, only the ground floors, including Auto Italia, have level access.
