We have a number of options for becoming part of the Sample-Studios community. From supporting us by attending our events or sharing our social media posts to being a full-time artist in one of our studios, our organisation depends on the involvement of others. If you are a creative practitioner, you might consider becoming a Creative Network Member or an Associate Member. Supporters of the arts might choose to become a Friend or a Patron of Sample-Studios.

Volunteering at Sample-Studios
Sample-Studios is a non-profit artist-led organisation, which was founded by a group of volunteers in 2011. While we strive toward professionalism, our public programmes and day-to-day running of the studios is very reliant on a dedicated team of volunteers.
We are always looking for like-minded individuals who are passionate about the arts and would like to get involved. While we are not in a position to provide remuneration, we can provide training and experience in a welcoming and creative environment.
If you would like to find out more about volunteering, an internship or gaining work experience, please contact:
