EXTENDED DEADLINE: Spaces Co-ordinator

3 weeks ago

United Kingdom Scottish Contemporary Art Network Full time €27,800

We are seeking a Spaces Co-ordinator to support artists’ development and emerging artist networks in Aberdeen and the North East of Scotland.

About Us:

Outer Spaces is building a new infrastructure for the arts in Scotland. We provide free meanwhile studio and project space in vacant commercial property for artists, art collectives and groups and art organisations. Our programmes have been designed to respond to their needs and the changing shape of Scotland’s recovery post pandemic.

The response to both our programme and our growing list of available spaces has been overwhelming – we now support over 600 resident artists and groups in 60 spaces in 13 local authority areas. Our spaces are currently located in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, Inverness, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Newton Mearns, Perth, and Stirling in busy urban centres, out of town commuter hinterlands, post-industrial places and communities devastated first by austerity, then Brexit and Covid and now impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.

Our spaces are rent free. By offering a studio or workspace for free, Outer Spaces is removing an artist’s highest professional monthly cost and this is vitally important now during the cost-of-living crisis when artist’s incomes are being squeezed. We need to ensure artists, especially at an early stage of their career can access spaces, a network of peers, and opportunities to work with other artists and engage with audiences.
