Arcadia offers a unique creative environment for Artists to develop their practice, experiment with new ideas, and work with new materials. The main studio space contains an array of machinery, and there is a trained technician on hand to give advice. Artists are encouraged to make full use of the Studio space, as well as the outdoor space where they can develop site specific installations within the grounds.

Future opportunities will be posted early 2023. Please email : susan@arcadiasculpture.org if you would like to be notified of these future opportunities at Arcadia Sculpture Centre.

We encourage applications from recently graduated artists, emerging and established artists. Practicing couples or artist’s partner welcome.

The successful applicant will receive an expenses allowance of £200.
