Space Stations are short creation weeks for outdoor artists, makers and shakers. First piloted last Autumn at Whirligig Woods in Cheshire, they give time, space, and people to bounce ideas off with and tackle your creative knots! 

Space Stations kick off this November in Great Yarmouth & Hull (with other locations already in the pipeline for next year) thanks to funding from Arts Council England and our partners OAUK, Out There Arts, Freedom Festival, Without Walls and Apus Productions.

What?

Space Stations offer  3 and 1/2 days of lightly structured creative research, development, problem solving and idea sparking with other street / outdoor artists. In other words, it’s supported Research & Development time to delve into whatever creative wormhole you have in your backlog. Oh, and you also get food!

Facilitated by 2 artists – one from our Space Station team, and a NASA-UK member artist who is local to each Space Station area.

We’ll provide some frameworks and tools to guide or kick-start the creative research. The structures we’ll offer are adapted from the Critical Response Process, the Disney Principle, Open Space Technology, and other practices and exercises. 

Who?

There are 12 places per Space Station. Artists local to each area will be prioritised. Space Stations are open to street and outdoor artists at ANY STAGE of their career, or in any phase of a project. We designed these with solo artists in mind but collaborative duo/trios are welcome.

How do I get involved?

Applications will open soon. NASA-UK members will have early access to sign-ups. Join now!
