On the second floor there are 6 artist studios available to local artists. Each studio has: 

• Mains power outlets

• WiFi

• Wall mounted ceramic heater

• Access to small communal kitchen

• 24 / 7 access to studios

• Access to a range of facilities & resources in the building

• Studios vary in size from 95 to 195 sq/ft

The studios that we offer for hire are for local visual artists from any discipline. We accept applications from emerging or professional artist looking for a space to develop their own personal practice, but one of our ambitions is to support independent creative practitioners who have an interest in and / or commitment to socially engaged participatory practice so we encourage artists who have at least an element of their practice that is collaborative and outward looking in its nature. We especially welcome artists who may have their own personal based practice but are also interested in exploring ways in which this could benefit the community and provide creative and inspiring opportunities for local groups with the aim of building a more sustainable and resilient way of working of their own.

This could take the form of workshops, professional courses or classes, or its could lead to more substantial independently organised community projects, potentially utilising the space, resources and equipment that is available in the rest of the building. For those starting out on this path there will be opportunities to gain experiences and mentorship in socially engaged participatory practice and workshop delivery by assisting other practitioners operating in the space and providing experiences to the community groups and organisations that Positive Light Projects will be working with.

All of our current studios are full. We are imminently working on freeing up some new spaces in the building, so don’t hesitate to fill out the form below as we hope there will be some new spaces available soon. Want to know who the current studio holders are? Check out our ‘About’ page here.
