Send your ideas to SPACE!

we want to hear your ideas, projects and proposals to take over our SPACE

The partnership between The Island (an Artspace Lifespace project) and Trinity to maintain and promote Arts West Side & SPACE as an affordable, accessible community arts space began in April 2016.

SPACE & Arts West Side have secured an extended lease from the City Council as a Community Asset Transfer and will continue as a hub for community arts and events until the end of March 2018...so let's get inspired!

Are you looking to participate, host or deliver an exhibition, creative collective, art project, community based activity? Regardless of your age, profession, ethnic, cultural, or educational background; whether you consider yourself an established/emerging artist or not at all, we want to hear your ideas for SPACE.

Standing for ‘Sound, Performance, Art, Community, Engagement’, SPACE has hosted public events, art shows, residencies, meetings, workshops, pop-up shops since April...and SPACE could be yours next!

SPACE aims to provide an opportunity for all to present a range of sound, performance, art and community based activities in our welcoming and accessible creative spaces, suitable for use as: a gallery, pop-up shop, performances, short film screening, rehearsals, meetings and much more.

Proposals are accepted all year round and should include:

  • 500 words maximum, outlining your idea or project, including time-scale, tech requirements and space preference (Gallery or Art Room on 1st floor)

  • For exhibitions: images representative of your work

  • A website address to your work or group (if available)

  • Budget (if available)

Selection of proposals will be based on quality, feasibility and the connection to the overall theme of SPACE.

Please send your proposal to SPACE
