New Building
Impression of the New Watermans Building
Watermans’ mission is to bring communities together through cultural practice and to enrich lives through the arts and creativity. It acts as a producer, curator, and connector, bringing together artists and audiences to present a programme that includes international outdoor performance and new media art at Bell Square.
In 2024, Watermans closed the arts centre at 40 High Street ahead of its move to a new building in the centre of Brentford. Hounslow Arts Trust Ltd is working with London Borough Hounslow and partners to create the new Watermans.
Hounslow Arts Trust owns the Watermans brand and will continue to plan the relocation to a new building, working with London Borough Hounslow and Arts Council England to ensure Hounslow has a world class arts venue in Brentford. In the meantime, Watermans continues to programme outdoor theatre and performance at Bell Square, Hounslow and develop new media art projects.
Keep in touch with the programme and plans for the new building by remaining on the Watermans mailing list for future updates.
