TOSH (The Old School House)

We're a Boscombe based non-profit dedicated to supporting arts career growth and providing creative activities for our diverse community. In our heritage building, you’ll find workshops, artist studios, space hire and more…

At TOSH, we build groups that bring diverse communities together in a supportive, safe space. Our community programme creates workshops and gatherings, where all are welcome and all belong. Explore our TOSH Community Groups here.

TOSH also programmes artist support through OSC (Open School Creative), in collaboration with BEAF Arts Co. OSC is a programme to support our community of artists and their artistic development at all stages of their career.

OSC brings together our community and artistic development programmes, while adding new, regular drop-in workshops and talks in response to the needs of our network. OSC also offers funding opportunities through our £500 Lucky Draw scheme.

TOSH is also home to TOSH Studios - our 9 dedicated spaces for artists to develop their creative work within an inclusive, creative community.

TOSH also serves as a hireable space for creative workshops / events, and healthcare programmes / meetings. Explore our hire spaces here.
