VSSL is a place of gathering and creation - we are a queer-led, not-for-profit gallery & studio located in Deptford, London.

Our space is a site for artistic production and engagement, dedicated to the holding and nurturing of contemporary, queer, interdisciplinary art.

We work with and continue to support an ever growing register of emerging and mid career artists, while fostering mutually supportive relationships with oganisations including; Ugly Duck, ]performance s p a c e [, Live Art Development Agency, Queer Art Projects, Live Art Club & FUTURERITUAL.

Our programmes are regularly funded by Arts Council England as well as other various charities and local authorities.

Initially established as a studio in 2020 by B. Sebastian and J. M. Schofield, VSSL quickly became a site of regular exhibition and public programming with inaugural offerings: Gathering in a Time of Plague (2021) & The Sunday Skool (2021).

We intend that VSSL remains a place of gathering - a place where our communities
can meet, create and grow.

Please be in touch with questions, invitations and collaborative possibilities.
