Artistic Residencies

Out There Arts has a two-tier tariff with subsidised hire rates for artists wishing to use our facilities for training, rehearsals, or residencies.

We also have a limited number of supported residencies whereby space is offered for free or as a part hire on a reciprocal exchange basis.

There is no fixed formula for how a reciprocal exchange might work, this is negotiated and mutually agreed with individual artists.

It is likely to consist of Out There providing free space and support in the creation and development of work in return for artists providing benefits to Out There Arts and the local community.

Alongside artist development we are committed to providing accessible, inclusive, outstanding cultural and creative experiences and opportunities for audiences and our local communities here in Great Yarmouth, improving lives and contributing to the regeneration of the town. A typical exchange would be a performance at one of our annual events such as the Beer and Circus Festival; Out There International Festival of Circus and Street Arts and Fire on the Water or delivering activity as part of our year round schools programme..
