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

See below for current and upcoming studio availability.

Artists and makers on our studio mailing list will be notified when a suitable studio is available and invited to submit an Expression Of Interest (EOI) via Google Forms. We are also happy to accept this in handwritten format or as video or audio recordings. To join the studio mailing list, please contact tyler@artspace.org.uk.

The EOI form requires a short cover letter outlining your practice and need for the space, and a link to your website and/or social media. This is where we will look to see images of your work and learn about your projects and achievements. Please ensure your web presence is up to date and reflects your current practice.

Staff will review all expressions of interest and offer the space to the those who most strongly embody our criteria. 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.

We are looking for:

• Artists, makers and creatives who will regularly and frequently work in the studio;

• Work that is contemporary, unique, or demonstrates a high level of skill, or otherwise shows promising potential;

• Those pursuing professional practice, which could include but is not limited to: showing work in galleries, selling work, appearing in publications, undertaking residencies, securing funding, working to commission, delivering workshops, innovating in their work;

• Those with an engaged following, be they customers, participants, peers, apprentices, students, commentators or audiences;

• Relevant creative businesses that in proximity can support the business models of artists and makers and YAS.

Together, your expression of interest and online presence should collectively illustrate how you meet the above criteria. Regrettably, due to the high levels of interest we receive, we are unable to provide individual feedback.
