Plus, you can use the community forum to engage with other Inhabit members and benefit from the collective knowledge of people who have first hand experience.

Creative professionals operating in the UK today make up more that 7% of the entire working population, with around 1.9 million individuals in employment. Despite this, many creative’s struggle to find affordable, appropriately resourced or sustainable workspace in which to think, explore, try out and produce their work.

Creative workspaces are a source of artistic wealth, community regeneration and international reputation. Inhabit has been formed through a pertnership between Arts Council England and DCA, to enhance knowledge and promote best practice about the use of creative workspace and to encourage the development of more, and more sustainable, creative workspace across the UK.
