The Making Space program is simple, providing spaces for artists to work in and offering a stipend for selected creators and makers - supporting a diversity of practitioners. Creative makers/ designers across the Brunswick Design District (BDD) and from all disciplines were encouraged to apply.
Objectives:
The objectives of the BDD Making Space pilot program were to:
- Offer immediate relief to creatives in the BDD.
- Unlock under-utilised publicly owned spaces for making/creating within the BDD.
- Strengthen the creative ecology and partner networks within the BDD.
- Test the viability of a program that has potential to grow.
- Demonstrate the aims and values of the BDD partnership.
Outcomes:
Expected outcomes of this residency are simply the development and advancement of a project related to a practitioner’s creative work.
Whether developing a grant proposal, prototyping a product or service or working on a performance or artefact, the residency should be used to develop, test and progress a project or concept. This development will be assisted by the program’s venue hosts and will be recorded in project diaries, which will serve as acquittal for the project.
While welcome, a public outcome is not necessarily expected for this program.
