Space to Create Artist Commissions

Culture Connects, as part of our ongoing work in Gosport to support local Artists & connect communities, invites proposals for small-scale creative activations which will be based in or delivered from YourSpace, Gosport.

Space to Create will test out new creative ideas through 3 strands of work:

1. Performance – e.g. pre-views, work in progress, rehearsals and/or public workshops

2. Visual Art and craft – e.g. exhibitions, workshops, talks

3. Digital skills and artforms – e.g. workshops, digital installations

Artists are invited to propose creative interventions to test new ideas, that haven’t been funded before, that engage the public through creativity & interaction.

Please email a short proposal & bio (1side of A4) & cost break down.

The fee should cover all associated costs, including:

• Artist fees (any artform)

• Travel and expenses

• Research and development

• Materials and production

• Marketing

• Technical costs

• If you require budget for personal access costs, please include this in your application as an addition to the commission are you requesting.

We are seeking proposals for creative ideas that will engage a wide range of visitors-including, but not limited to, families & casual shoppers. The ideas should:

• Have a free publicly accessible element which is open for viewing/participating or exploration at some stage of the project

•Increase participation in the selected artform

• Activate YourSpace as a creative space

• Take place between Dec 2025 – March 2026
