Artist Studios With Proposition
Community is at the heart of our studios. We host artists with very diverse practices and stages of development and are organised to support them. Studio artists get opportunities to exhibit their work in our gallery, first notification of commissions, employment opportunities, access to professional development coaching and free access to our workshops and public program.
All of our studios are currently occupied, but to add yourself to our waiting list please email apply@propositionstudios.com with details of what kind of space you require (particularly regarding size), and your budget.
