Open Call for Free Studio Spaces

In return for the free studio spaces, there is a public facing lobby space which you can use as a workshop area for occasional events for the public, limited to groups of 10.

As the 9 studios are so large, we would expect a minimum of 9 artists to be in the collective to use these spaces, but we would prefer more- so 1 or more sharing each of the studios. Due to the nature of these spaces we are looking for non messy makers and we will need you to ensure the spaces remain as they were when you started occupation.

As this is an office block with other businesses we are looking for responsible artists that ensure peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the spaces.

PLEASE NOTE

We will prioritise those that cannot normally afford studio or exhibition space, and believe that this opportunity might help them reach the next stage of their career. We are committed to supporting creatives and communities most in need & will prioritise creatives who declare they are struggling - whether financially, mentally or physically.

The space should be used by your group a minimum of three days a week during your awarded period, with specific minimum times agreed in advance. We are committed to supporting the roots of the cultural ecosystem & therefore will take into consideration any hardships or needs applicants declare.

You will be expected to pay a deposit, have your own Public Liability Insurance, buy the necessary fire extinguishers and have any electrical items PAT tested.
