General information

Haarlem Artspace Rural Contemporary Contemporary Art Rural Art Contemporary Studio Space Wirksworth Mill on the Floss Peak District Derwent Valley East Midlands Contemporary Art Derbyshire Arts, Haarlem is a multi functional artist-led space whose aim is to encourage practice and research into contemporary art created in a rural environment. It offers dedicated studios for artists and writers in the inspiring and historic Grade II* listed Haarlem Mill building. There are also flexible public spaces that will present an engaging and ambitious program of events and activities relating to landscape, the environment and ecology. We’re looking for ambitious artists and writers at varying stages in their careers, to further and develop their practices at Haarlem. They will be invited to participate in a program of exhibitions and events, which will explore and develop links with the Wirksworth Festival and the wider creative community. We hope to secure funding which will allow us to develop commissions, events, and a residency program, which will have on-going links with other studio groups, both national and international. Artists will be supported in the development of new work via a group critique program, optional tutoring, funding advice and support, alongside online representation.
