Culture Company 2013 Chief Executive Shona McCarthy said: “There has been an historic under-provision of inexpensive artists’ studios within Derry-Londonderry and our support of this project and the Creative Village Arts organisation goes some way to redressing the problem. “

The four artists’ studios will be priced at £25 per week, inclusive, and CVA is happy for a studio to be shared between two artists to ensure the facilities are financially accessible for all.

Furthermore the lease periods will be flexible, with CVA’s minimum lease period being only 3 months, for those who wish to trial renting a studio before committing to a lengthy lease, or require a space to prepare for an exhibition.
