We’re conscious that art comes in endless, changing forms - if you think that you may be working in an eligible art form that isn’t listed here, please give us an email so that we can verify for you and amend our list if necessary.
We want to support creatives who are presently active and dedicated to developing their practice. For this reason, we ask that you demonstrate that you have produced some creative work at least within the last 12 months.
Please note we are unable to accept applications from current students, as we are specifically aiming to support those that have access to fewer opportunities, and those who are living in the area beyond the duration of their studies.
You must have a BH home postcode to apply.
If we feel that your application is incomplete or not eligible, we will contact you. Otherwise, please assume your application has been accepted.
If you cannot fill in the online form or you need this information in a different format please email us at hello@gotbeaf.co.uk or contact@toshspace.co.uk
