Associate Membership Scheme
Studio Voltaire aims to extend the support offer to studio members to non-resident artists, as well as curators and writers, through our Associate Membership Scheme. We offer a platform for our members through events and exhibition opportunities at Studio Voltaire and other venues. The Annual Members Exhibition is an important part of Studio Voltaire; members are invited to submit work that is selected by an external panel of artists and curators. We recognise that artists and cultural workers may not need a permanent studio; the scheme also offers special discounts on hire costs of the gallery and project studio for non-commercial or non-publically accessible activities.
