[RHP] CDRs is a research, production and event programming unit committed to investigating the relationships between visual and aural practices within the contexts of contemporary art and experimental music. Founded by artist/curator, Ryan Hughes we work in close collaboration with a range of national and international practitioners to create a CDR and an event each month.

 

In October 2011 Althorpe Studios & Gallery opened in the Old Town of Leamington Spa on the Althorpe Industrial Estate, as a not-for-profit charity we aim to make use of under-used buildings in order to provide studios, exhibition and workshop spaces. We take on long-leased properties to provide stable & secure workspaces for artists of all disciplines - from amateur enthusiasts to professional artists & all levels of practice in between. We currently maintain & manage 9 working studios across 3 properties on Althorpe Industrial Estate.
