Wasps renovated the former Town Hall, Town House and Corn Exchange in 2008 to provide eight studio spaces and a project/events space for the local community.
Studio 007 is a first floor space with indirect natural light. The studio has a semi open-plan feel with communal water nearby the space.
The Steeple is home to a small community of local artists and makers who benefit from:
– An all-inclusive rent which covers utilities and WiFi.
– Studio security – all Wasps buildings are either owned or on long term rentals
– 24/7 access all year round
– Being part of our community of almost 1,000 artists and creatives in our 20 buildings across Scotland
– Ability to join the Own Art scheme – Own Art allows for clients to spread the cost of an artwork priced from £100 to £25,000 over 10 months with no interest. Using Own Art can help you close that extra sale – turning a £500 artwork into a more affordable proposition of £50 per month, for example
– Promotion on the Wasps website (receiving tens of thousands of visitors per month) with an artist profile and shop
– Exhibiting and selling opportunities through our Arts & Enterprise programme including:
Exhibitions across the network – over 50% of artists exhibited in our gallery programmes are tenants
Discounted rates for stalls at Summer and Winter Markets
Open Studios events
Inclusion in Art Fairs
