Make a submission Contact the curator Who is eligible for this opportunity? Creatives who need space to work in and will make regular use of the space. These studios are subsidised to support low income and early stage artists, so we will prioritise applicants who are facing socioeconomic barriers to working in the arts. When is the deadline? 2nd October How many works can I submit? 5-15 images as a guide, but go with your gut. We want to see the work you're excited about. Does the location have disabled access? The studios are up a flight of stairs. We are aiming to install a chair lift, but do not currently have a timeline for this. We also do not yet have disabled toilets. What happens if my proposal is chosen? We will begin shortlisting immediately following the application deadline.
