For Artists For Spaces Network About Contact Get in touch
Not just software for one room

Your space, plus everyone else's.

Artist-run culture has always worked through relationships, exchanges and word of mouth — a friend of a friend with a spare room in another city, a curator who remembers your show from years ago. This is an attempt to give that some structure, without replacing it.

A glimpse

Every dot is a space, an artist, or an open exchange.

This illustration shows the kind of web a live network could look like. Hover or tap a point for a closer look — then imagine your own space somewhere on this map.

What connection actually enables

Not abstract "community" — specific, useful things that are hard to do over email and spreadsheets.

🏡

Residency exchanges

List a room, a studio, or a season, and spaces elsewhere can propose an exchange directly — no cold emails, no spreadsheet of contacts you half-remember from a festival three years ago.

🔎

Discover & get discovered

Every member gets a public profile — space or individual artist — searchable by discipline, location and openness to visits. Curators and organisers browse the network the way they'd browse a directory, except it updates itself.

📣

Shared open calls

Publish a call for a residency, a co-production, or a workshop leader, and it reaches every member space that opts in — not just the people already on your mailing list.

🧳

Traveling artist profiles

Artists carry one portfolio across every member space they touch. Arrive at a new residency and your work, your bio and your contact details are already there.

🗂

Cross-space visibility, on your terms

Nothing is public by default that you haven't chosen to share. A space can stay entirely private and still opt in to specific parts of the network — a directory listing, an open call, a single event.

🌱

Built to grow with real use

The network is only as good as the spaces in it. It launches modestly, on purpose, and grows through actual exchanges rather than vanity metrics.

· · ·

Private first. Connected by choice.

None of this requires opening your space up more than you want to. The network is opt-in, section by section — a public profile doesn't mean a public calendar, and a public calendar doesn't mean open bookings. You decide what crosses your threshold.

Two ways in

The network only exists because people actually join it.
