Graduate Studio Share 

We have one of our four Graduate Studio spaces up for application. The Graduate Studios is a special scheme which awards a three-year lease at a reduced rate. To be eligible you must have graduated (or be due to graduate) between 2022 and this year, and be resident in Scotland.

If you are not a recent graduate we also have one shared studio space becoming available.

All our studios are subsidised with the intention of keeping them as affordable as possible. You would be based within our building at Hawthornvale with access to all the facilities on site. Applications are invited from artists working within contemporary sculpture practice.
