All Spaces Are Creative Spaces

An artist residency programme created with Working Class Creatives, demonstrating how underused commercial spaces can support artists and strengthen a brand's cultural credibility.

Project Summary

All Spaces Are Creative Spaces was a year-long artist residency programme hosted at Acrylicize. The initiative demonstrated how underutilised commercial workspaces can become a valuable resource for artists, while enabling brands and organisations to invest meaningfully in culture and build deeper connections with creative communities.

The programme attracted over 100 applications, with 10 artists each receiving an eight-week residency, free studio space, a materials stipend and the opportunity to exhibit their work to the public.
