Associate Studio membership
Associate Studio membership is for those aiming to become affordable studio providers, but who are not established yet. For example, you may be a group to whom one or more of these apply: you
- are an artist group researching the possibility of establishing collective space
- are just setting up as a studio group
- not yet formally constituted but working on a set of rules.
Associate Studio members receive many benefits to help them become established. Associate Studio membership is reviewed after two years.
