Spike Island is home to over 70 independent artists, working in our professional and affordable studios. Our studios are subsidised, making them accessible to artists who would otherwise find it difficult to afford space to make new work in.
Our studio artists are all at different stages of their career, and work across all types of media. As well as a studio, we can provide you with subsidised equipment hire, production support, event space, and our own expertise.
The studios
We have a combination of individual and shared studios. All our studios are secure, and can be accessed 24/7. As well as a place to work, our studios provide a vibrant creative network — allowing you to forge new collaborations and gain peer support.
As a Spike Island studio holder, you’ll also have the chance to make national and international connections with our visiting artists and residents.
