LONDON CREATIVE NETWORK

Next Open Call: Spring 2018
London Creative Network (LCN) is a tailored development programme for artists and creative practitioners in London. Delivered by SPACE, with Cockpit Arts, Four Corners and Photofusion, it runs from Spring 2016 to Autumn 2018.
SPACE supports visual artists to realise a project within a 6 month-period using innovative technologies or processes. The focus is on the development of new artworks that ultimately lead to the sustainability of an artist’s practice. For more information visit here. SPACE has been providing workspaces and advocacy for artists and supporting innovation since 1968.
Cockpit Arts supports craftspeople through a rolling programme to develop new processes, products and services, underpinned by business skills and leading to a more sustainable practice. The programme caters for all types of craft practices – from batch producers to artist-makers. Cockpit Arts is an award winning social enterprise and the UK’s only creative-business incubator for craftspeople
Four Corners supports photographers to develop their practice through a programme of specialist workshops, mentoring support, in-house facilities and networking, with the opportunity to create and showcase new projects.  Four Corners is a learning, production and exhibition centre for film and photography based in East London for over 40 years.
Photofusion supports photographers who wish to extend their practice by incorporating new ways of working, with an emphasis on the development of new products and services.  Photofusion offers specialist workshops, use of in-house facilities, and mentoring, as well as advice on how to incorporate these new ways of working into existing business/artistic plans. Photofusion is London’s largest independent photography resource centre and has been operating in South London since 1979.
Applications are sought twice a year in Spring and Autumn. The next call for application is in Spring 2018.
