There are many ways to become part of the community at designermakers21. Have a look at the information below to find out more, or visit us in Diss and talk with our members.
Apply for a Fixed Term Residency
There are two types of Fixed Term Residency (FTR) available. Each is for a limited period of 3 months, and would suit an artist/maker looking for temporary studio space within an open studio collective.
Exhibit in the Showcase
The Showcase Gallery is located upstairs in the main building, and is an exhibition space for 3 crafts people, or artists, to display/sell their work for a three month period. A brilliant way to present your work to a new audience.
Associate Membership
Associate Members work from their studios elsewhere, and display/sell their work in the designermakers21 galleries and window. Our exhibitions are updated regularly to ensure they are fresh, exciting and to a consistently high standard. Associate Members work is exhibited along with the work of permanent members.
Artist ‘Pop-Ups’
We are looking for designer/makers/artists to join us on a Saturday for a ‘pop-up’. It is free to take part, and is an opportunity to promote your work and demonstrate your processes to visitors.
Volunteer with Us
If you are someone with time on your hands, looking to meet new people, and help contribute to this exciting project then volunteering with us is the opportunity for you!
