Having a studio with Yorkshire Artspace makes you a part of one of the largest creative communities in the UK.

Yorkshire Artspace provides ideal conditions for talented contemporary artists, makers and creatives to thrive. We prioritize talent, potential, ambition and professionalism. It’s important to us that our Studio Members have an impact beyond their personal creative practice, creating value for the public.

We are a centre of art production and aim for our creative community to positively transform our city region through art.

HOW TO APPLY

Available spaces are listed at the bottom of this page. Follow us on Instagram and/or Facebook to find out when studios come available, or otherwise check back on this page regularly.

Those wishing to have a studio at Yorkshire Artspace must submit an application to be reviewed by our staff team. We only accept applications when there are studios available, and we do not keep a waiting list.

The studio application form asks for information about your requirements, and a short cover letter outlining your practice and need for the space. We will use your website/social media to see examples of your work and learn about your projects and achievements. Please ensure your web presence is up to date and reflects your current practice.

In the event that two or more applicants are closely matched, we will consider need for the space and prioritise applicants who are currently underrepresented at Yorkshire Artspace. Regrettably, due to the high levels of interest we receive, we are unable to provide individual feedback.
