The Fourth Portal has agreed with Gravesham Borough Council to occupy a former diner in Gravesend town centre. The Fourth Portal Workstation will become our daytime and early evening location throughout winter.  

 

St Andrew's location will become the Fourth Portal Lab, open for specific events and special exhibitions until the weather warms up in spring, when it will also reopen during daytimes.  

This is a holding message and this page will be updated fully in coming days.

Our beautiful Fourth Portal, nestled by the river Thames in Gravesend, home to Pocahontas, introduces the latest innovations using old technologies in a chilled out former seafarers chapel. 

Fourth Portal @ St Andrew's Art Centre is a relaxed place to meet, socialise, work, learn, enjoy performances, art and workshops surrounded by an eclectic array of furnishings, books and technology under stunning stained glass windows. 

St Andrew's Art Centre is a challenging site for such an intervention due to the building's age, listed status and location.

We will have two artists in residence, a Mind Space and a stage.  

 

There is a rich history with plaques to the 1845 doomed John Franklin northwest passage expedition and wind scale creator Sir Francis Beaufort.

 

Charles Dickens made a significant contribution to the cost of constructing the building.
