A shared vision
A place to create freely. A different way to live together.
Art is a way
of being.
The art world can be isolating. The pressure to produce and sell can pull artists away from the reasons they began. Riven grew out of a desire for another kind of space.
A place where artistic exploration, personal growth and authentic connection sit at the centre of everyday life. Where people can live, create and learn without reducing their work to a commodity.
Our ambition is an art village: a creative home with residencies, studios, gathering spaces and room to experiment. It is a long-term vision. The workshops are how we begin.
A decade of
building bridges.
Our work grows from years of founding and co-founding initiatives that connect artists across places and disciplines.
