Allocation of Space

Allocation of Space


For new tenants

Studios that become available are matched to the needs of artists on the register in the first instance and then offered on a first come, first served basis according to the date of application.

There is no average waiting time for a studio - it can take anything from a few months to a few years depending on what you're looking for, when a vacancy arises, or which area you live in. Demand for studio space is greatest in Edinburgh at the moment with currently up to 4 years waiting time. In Glasgow the average waiting time at the moment is 2 – 3 years. In other locations it varies greatly, sometimes there is a high turnover in studios, at other times studios will not become available for long periods of time.

We recommend that you apply early and be as flexible as possible in the type of space and location you want, particularly as some studio buildings are more popular than others.

We will be in touch annually to ensure your requirements are up to date. It is important you update us of any change in address - if we are unable to contact you we will take your details off the list.

Moving within the network

Current lease-holders are given priority to move within the network when a new studio becomes available. If you are already a tenant and would like to move studios within the organisation please complete a current tenant’s application form. Unfortunately we cannot offer you a new space if have not registered to move.
