STUDIO ALLOCATION POLICY
We welcome applications from practicing artists from all sectors of the community.
Studios are offered to artists as they become available either when an artist leaves a current studio space or through a new Tannery Arts studio building.
As we are a small organisation turnover is low. If you are seeking a studio space please register your interest by email by downloading a studio requirements form and sending a completed copy:
waitinglist@tanneryarts.org.uk
Applications/enquiries more than twelve months old are removed from the waiting list. Please re-register if you are still seeking studio. |

Membership to Tannery Arts is conferred automatically on artists having tenancies, or sub-tenancies, with Tannery Arts. The benefits of membership include:
- access to any benefits the charity has to offer such as affordable rents and studio management

New members may be admitted following a screening process by the Tannery Arts Board of Directors. Studio space is let to artists who the Board deems can be accommodated under the terms of its Objects.

Tenants are obliged to sign an Agreement accepting the conditions of tenancy. The conditions exist to safeguard the Charity from misuse of the studios or non-payment of rent.
