Priority AccessKeyholders have priority booking during weekdays and you are given a key (hence the name!).
Keyholder Scheme
We currently have no vacancies for our coveted Keyholder Scheme, but we have a waiting list in place.
The Keyholder scheme is designed for professional artists working in print, both established and recent graduates. It is designed to be cost effective if you require print facilities 2 days a week or more.
Cost
To be a keyholder is £230 per calendar month via standing order. There is a special rate for recent graduates to support their transition into professional life, making the cost £190 per month for the first year of their membership.
Please Note:
The Keyholder Scheme is available for periods of a minimum of sixth months at a time. A keyholder may want to use the studio facilities more intensively for part of this six month period. This usage is balanced out across a three month period, averaging to 2 days per week, enabling other Artichoke members fair access to the facilities.
Occasionally members run printmaking courses here. These work in conjunction with the needs of our regular members - we are committed to making sure they always have access to facilities. You have to book sessions as a keyholder so we can allocate work space.
