HOW WE ARE FUNDED
As a non profit Community Interest Arts Organisation, Open Space relies on a mix of public and private funding. The support of private donors and sponsors is vital to enable us to continue building an experimental platform for creative practice and encourage the work of emerging artists, curators and writers.
Through an annual programme which includes four recurring projects – exploring food as a medium, the digital and discursive, as well as research based initiatives. Open Space provides a platform for creative art practitioners to respond to a yearly theme.
There are many ways to be involved with Open Space, from collaborations to one-off donations via PayPal or joining as a supporter. We also sell artist editions in our online shop. As a platform with a community focus, we rely on everyone for support, no matter how big or small.
