About

Our multi-art form artist development programme is built primarily around the particular needs of experienced/mid-career artists. The programme has four strands: Productions, Residencies, Development and Support.

Residencies are opportunities for artists to have paid time for facilitated reflection and practice development and are mostly open call or a targeted call out via a partner organisation and include Rough Mix & Space/Time.

Developments are bespoke research and development processes that support projects developed through a residency on to the next stage. We develop projects to production through a process of commissioning and development. A project will move through a carefully managed development process, including public previews, before it is fully produced. We sometimes support the further development of projects that have started at Rough Mix.

Productions is where we support projects developed through the earlier strands to reach audiences. We offer one supported production opportunity every other year which is a cash budget and inkind support to stage a work in progress presentation and we frequently co-produce and support inkind productions developed through our programme.

Support offers a wide range of opportunities to individual artists, ranging from introductory 1 to 1’s to our Artist Employee role offered by open call every other year. Part of our Support strand includes our Artist Network where all artists who have engaged with our programmes are offered quarterly opportunities to network, attend free workshops, be supported by paid wellbeing days and receive mentoring so we can continue to support the artists who have engaged with our programme.
