Affordable Studio Space : Hackney Downs Studios : SUBMISSIONS OPEN

Our affordable studio scheme based at our Hackney Downs Studios site is set up and ready to go. We are now taking submissions for artists wanting to use the space.

Applications to be made in writing to art@creativenetworkpartners.com, please include CV & examples / links to your work and cover letter answering the following;

Name

Discipline

Predominant use of the space (is this for a project? is it for general day to day working?)

What would you exhibit in the group show? / What are you working on at the moment?

The rentals will be based on a shared occupancy scheme with artists being allocated a space, according to their discipline.

The studios will be subsidised by Eat Work Art with artists paying between £120-£200 PCM for their spaces depending on size.

We plan to work with partners from various educational institutions, community organisations and the community local to Hackney Downs to create a community of practicing artists. 

Based in what is was formally known as ‘The Heartspace’ within Hackney Downs Studios, the shared studio / workshop comprises of over 3000 sq ft, with plenty of natural light and access to a roof terrace. Beautiful and inspiring in its own right we believe it is the perfect space to situate this scheme.

We aim to afford creatives a real platform to pursue their practice.

Eat Work Art will curate two exhibitions yearly to act as a showcase for works created within the affordable studio spaces.

The artists will have access to Eat Work Art’s marketing reach which stretches over 10,000 followers on facebook, over 5000 on twitter, a 11,000 strong mailing list and support from press opinion leaders.

The artists will also have the chance to form networks with the residents of Netil House & Hackney Downs Studios opening up opportunities to create work and employment.
