artsdepot is the only professional arts venue in the London Borough of Barnet and is committed to providing a diverse range of high quality visual and performance arts for everyone. With over 160,000 visitors a year, there's a range of shows, classes, events, festivals, community projects and more to get involved with. artsdepot was conceived by the local community in 1996 through a conference called Barnet 2000 which addressed what new and improved services the borough’s residents would like to see in Barnet at the new Millennium. What emerged from Barnet 2000 was an overwhelming need for more professional arts facilities, in fact a larger version of The Bull Arts Centre in High Barnet, which was then the only professional, if small, arts centre in the borough.
