Artists

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. This season’s workshops workshops are listed below. Please note that subsidised rates are available for those who would otherwise not be able to attend.

PLATFORM – Our Artist Residency Programme

This programme allows artists to access resources and expertise to develop their work, including:

• 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 Artist Residencies for 2026 – 27 are now open, find out more.

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.
• Hot Desk: Available for artists who need somewhere to work on a script, producing a show or a funding application.
