Artspace is now accepting proposals through an open call for artists to transform this unique space.
Artspace’s Ideas Platform is a flexible, exhibition space situated at the front entrance to the Gunnery building. It’s a site for risk and speculation where the process is as important as the outcome. Our concept is simple, if you have an idea, we have a platform.
Artspace is now accepting proposals through an open call for artists to transform this unique space.
The application is open to artists, collectives and curators, and if successful they will work closely with Artspace’s curatorial, technical and communications team to develop their project. There will be three exhibitions available for successful applications in the 2019 Ideas Platform program.
