In 2015, Matt’s Gallery won a competitive tender for a permanent new space at Nine Elms, Wandsworth, which opened in 2022. The building has been provided core and shell by the developer Bellway through Wandsworth Council as part of their Section 106 Commitments. Matt's Gallery worked with architects Manalo & White to create a complex that incorporates two double-height gallery spaces, affordable artists' studios, offices, book and editions shop, and a publicly accessible home for the Matt’s Gallery library and archive. The Outset Archive is a permanent public installation in the new gallery space. Alongside documentary evidence of the exhibitions being made, the library and archive holds films, books, invitations, letters and ephemera relating to artist-led practice from the 1960s to today. The archive gives significant insights into the working methodology of the gallery and the artists it has worked with over the last 40 years. The Outset Professionals celebrated their year of support in 2019 here before construction began, and were able to view the first stages of the building and The Outset Archive.
