Room 13 is an independent artists’ studio, based within the grounds of Hareclive Primary School. Children can go to the studio to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, take photographs, make films, research, read and work on the computer. In Room 13, they are free to follow their own ideas and work on their own creative projects. Room 13 artists have taken part in a wide variety of activities including exhibitions (Bristol, Exeter and London), commissions, residencies, presentations at conferences and making programmes for television (BBC Newsround and a Channel 4 short film).
Room 13 Hareclive was established in 2003 and was the first and, until recently, the only Room 13 studio in England. This year, Room 13 Hareclive moved into a new studio which the young people helped to design and fund, making theirs the world's first ever purpose built Room 13 studio space.
Room 13 Hareclive keep in touch and share ideas with other Room 13 studios worldwide through the Room 13 Studio Network.
