About Us
read moreIt all started with a text message, one of those moments where everything changes in an instant! In 2007, a commercial art gallery in Southampton, one which already showcased local art, was about to close. Together, with help from friends, the four founders (Bik, Jani, Nina and Ziggy) formed a voluntary not-for-profit organisation and took over the running of the space, adding food and drink, crafts, clothing, more events and groups to what was on offer. Since then, The Art House has blossomed into an established arts venue, gallery, workshop and meeting space, all underpinned, and funded, by a cafe serving high quality food and drink.
