Associate artists
As part of our new four stranded Domicile project we have
launched two new artist development projects designed to help new
and emerging companies at varying stages of their career.
Artists' Quarters
A scheme providing support for eight
recently
graduated/early career artists and companies
over two years which, through the provision of resources, support
and expertise, aims to encourage graduate retention in the PUSH
(partnership for urban south Hampshire) area and the establishment
of new creative
enterprises.
In 2009/10 we are delighted to welcome four young companies
into our artist quarters scheme.
Each company works closely with The Point's creative producer
Sacha Lee to
develop a tailored plan of work over the year to help maximise
opportunities available to them.
The companies will also benefit from office space, production
time, performance opportunities and staff time advising on business
planning, strategy, marketing, education and technical.
The four companies are:
