Supporting artists and the development of new work is an important part of what we do.
In addition to the projects below there are three main strands to our artist development work:
STATIONS
Our Development Workshop Programme
Develop and hone your skills as a freelance artist and connect with industry professionals.
Throughout the year we host a series of artist development workshops, both in person and online, including topics such as: Producing, Funding, Programming, Community Engagement, Writing and Marketing. These are offered on a Pay What You Decide basis. To see current workshops, select the ‘Artists’ filter on the What to do page.
PLATFORM
Our Artist Residency Programme
This programme allows artists to access resources and expertise to develop their work, including:
- £1000 seed funding
- Rehearsal space
- Access to support from the artsdepot team
- Free access to all our Development Workshop Programme
- Offers through our Alumni Network
Applications for PLATFORM Artist Residencies for Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025 will open in Spring 2024.
TRANSIT
Freelancer Support
We offer ongoing support to Artists who have been through our Artist Residency programmes.
- 1 to 1 Surgeries: Let’s stay in touch! Our 1 to 1 surgeries are a chance for us to catch-up, a chance for us to learn more about how your work is progressing, and for you to hear about what we’re up to.
