Funded Studio Space

Leeds Arts University Funded Studio Spaces offer recent graduates the chance to start, develop and grow their business or creative practice within a creative, collaborative studio space. Residencies range from 4 weeks up to 9 months, so we can offer flexible spaces to suit what you need!

This is a great opportunity to integrate with the wider creative community in the city, it is designed to give residents who are in the earlier stages of their careers a supportive and enabling environment to develop their practice. Whether you are just starting out or already running an established business, we are open to applications from anyone looking to further their creative career in any field.

There are different types of studio space available, ranging from digital studios to those needing things like space for print rooms, photography studios and practice rooms. Just in the past five years, we have hosted residents spanning a wide variety of creative disciplines ranging from illustration, photography and animation; to textile design, sculpture and ceramics just to name a few!

As well as the studio space, this scheme offers additional support for career development activities tailored to the goals outlined in your application. This could be (but not restricted to) mentoring, testbed access to facilities, access to events, conferences or networking activities.

Eligibility

Funded Studio Spaces are available to Leeds Arts University undergraduate and postgraduate alumni from the past five graduating years. Both individual and collective applications are welcome.
