Rivington Place is the home of Iniva and Autograph ABP. The building opened in October 2007, the UK's first permanent public space dedicated to diversity in the visual arts and the first new public gallery to be built in London for 40 years since the Hayward Gallery. The RIBA award-winning building was designed by David Adjaye OBE and is influenced by African and contemporary art as well as the history of the local area. Housing gallery and education spaces, the Stuart Hall Library, meeting rooms to hire and a café, it provides a space for viewing, learning about and researching contemporary art. It has also become a hive of activity and a meeting place for the local East London community.
