Our Waiting Lists:

We currently have a wating list for our private workspaces. You can add your name to this list via our application form.

To keep a balance of activity at the studio, we pause applications from certain disciplines when there is a high number of artists working in these areas. When spaces free up we will get in contact with those on our waiting list first.

At the moment we have paused applications from Filmmaking, Animation, Spoken Word Performance and Writing.

If you work in one of these areas, please feel free to fill in our application form and we can add you to the list.
