101 Outdoor Arts Creation Space

Based on the former USAF Greenham Common cruise missile base, this 20,000sqft warehouse space with on-site fabrication, accommodation and rehearsal facilities is the UK’s major centre for artistic residencies, creation of new work for public spaces and innovation in site-specific and outdoor performance. They host a year-round programme of artistic residencies for companies and individuals making work for the outdoors and public places. Their resident artists and companies come from a wide range of arts, theatre and performance disciplines. A residency can explore any stage of the development of ideas, from the early stages of research and development, to making or producing a piece of work. 101 offers free use of its available spaces to artists during residences. It offers accommodation in a number of refurbished vintage caravans on-site. They can also offer aspects of technical support and equipment within theirr existing resources. 101 is a hub for information and advice and they are always very willing to share contacts, skills and experience with artists. The space is flexible but it can get cold in winter. 101 offers residency opportunities to selected professional companies producing high quality outdoor arts work. There is no formal application process – the programme is curated and the choice of companies reflects the organisations' interests and the range of work they seek to develop. You can write to them with a proposal or contact them for an informal discussion. Due to significant initial interest they anticipate the number of artists seeking residencies to far exceed the space available in the calendar.
