Future Plans

Swansea Studios intends to continue to be a resource for Swansea artists, helping to raise their profile in the region and to identify further with the local community. Other funding priorities include improved studio spaces/communal facilities and a guaranteed security of tenure.

As a group, we wish to develop closer links with other artist-led studio groups, and actively seek contact with partnership organisations and networks regionally and nationally, in order to further artistic and critical exchange. We hope that such collaborations will encourage a creative dialogue between artist and audience. Developing a profile through an active studio website and an improved organisational structure will help to build up a stronger group identity.

In the near future, we intend to organise our first open studios, to host arts events, informal artists' talks and fundraising initiatives from the studios. It is our hope that, at a later stage, the studio group will organise and contribute to events, and their interaction with invited speakers, visiting artists and residences will create a lively, supportive and dynamic working environment.
