• ActionSpace
• Into Art
• MK Gallery
• Outside In
• Photoworks
• Project Art Works (Lead Partner)
• Venture Arts

ActionSpace was invited to be a part of the Explorers Conference: Art, Rights and Representation in 2019. ActionSpace artists Ian Wornast and Thompson Hall presented an artist talk of their artwork from their touring exhibition, My Life In London with Ali Eisa from Autograph. Also, ActionSpace artist Andrew Omoding presented a selection of sculptures and a performance in an artist showcase for the conference.
