The Project Spaces at Bilton Square house the Crate Programme. The programme supports artists' research by providing time and space to develop work and ideas. It includes residencies, exchanges and projects initiated or supported by Crate. See 'Crate Programme' for details of individual projects. >>>

Crate is also open to proposals from individual artists and collaborative groups. At other times the Projects Spaces are available for artists to book.

For further information on the programme or to propose a project contact admin@cratespace.co.uk

CURATION AND CO-ORDINATION OPPORTUNITY

Crate Studio and Project Space is offering an opportunity to develop a year long programme for its project space, starting Autumn/Winter 2008. We are offering a £500 fee to develop the programme and funding application/s, with Crate's support.

The project space at Crate is designated as a research and development space for artists, rather than an exhibition space. This curatorial opportunity is to examine how artists' practice can be supported by the project space, and to explore the space between studio and exhibition. Previous programmed projects at Crate have supported collaborative research projects, residencies, artists' talks, and have established networks and exchanges. See Crate Programme Archive for more details.

The funding application/s would include provision for curation and co-ordination time. If funding bids were successful the Project Space Co-ordinator would deliver the year's programme.

Please send a CV and one page application outlining initial ideas to admin@cratespace.co.uk
