The offer
– one day per week in one of three slots (see ‘Available slots’ below)
– your own studio space (3.1 x 4.6m) with free wifi, coffee/tea and no bills to pay
– a small amount of storage space to put your equipment at the end of the day
All you need to do is keep the space clean and tidy, ready for the next person to use it. This does mean the space is not suitable for you if your practice is messy (painting, sculpting etc.).
Who is it for
This opportunity is for artists, creatives and makers in any discipline who cannot afford studio space but who need a space to work each week. You may be early in your career and live locally or within easy travel distance. You could use it as a thinking, writing or research space.
You can use the space to plan a project, or to try something out which might evolve into an idea at some stage; or to do something else creatively that we have not described here.
We are especially keen to support people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds with this opportunity.
