Below are a few positive comments that reflect the feedback received from the many organisations that currently support Artspace, of those we work with on a regular basis, and those that have worked with.
"The relationship between Artspace and the City Council is both longstanding and strong and I have been pleased to work with Artspace over a number of years, both in the wider sense in my role as City and Heritage Officer and in the particular sense as head of the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. We were particularly pleased that Artspace Artists contributed a permanent exhibition of commissioned works in the first phase of the Herbert redevelopment."

Coventry City Council"[Artspace] is very much in keeping with the Arts Council’s focus on the strengthening of the infrastructure for artists, the increased participation of the wider public in arts activity, particularly those with little access to arts activity, and Coventry as a priority geographic area. We look forward to continuing to support Coventry Artspace to realise its aspirations within Coventry and beyond the region."

Participatory art does, and will continue to have power in supporting, building and maintaining the city that we share."
