Space is important to all creatives. Space to think, work, meet, share, collaborate, exhibit, show. The way we think about spaces has developed over the years, particularly with the rise of pop ups and inhabiting otherwise empty places. We are continuing to learn and develop our thinking about spaces and how we can support artists to find the spaces they need at a cost they can afford.

Studio Space

Currently we offer artist studio spaces at Eaton House (CV1 2FJ). The membership rates for use of these varies from £55 to £120 per month. You may also want to read our FAQs re studios about studio spaces at Eaton House. Download our Studio Membership Application to apply for a space.

We also currently have a space available at Eaton House for weekly use for artists with a small charge of £36 per week. It will be available at a minimum of 1 week use, maximum 3 weeks. In order to be considered for use of the space, applicants will need to email space@coventry-artspace.co.uk with information about their practice, what they intend to use the space for, what outcomes they hope to achieve from their time in the space and how this impacts upon/develops their practice.
