35 arts studios in Liverpool city region are to be connected through a new network that aims to provide a voice for the studios, raise their profile among the arts and local communities, as well as identifying what support they need in the long term.
The independently-managed studios are home to over 500 artists, freelancers and self-employed creatives living and working in the region, spread across the six boroughs, and many have not received financial support during the coronavirus crisis.
The new network, run by a steering group and managed by Art in Liverpool, will conduct research to identify what the studios need to survive and thrive, and evaluate the threats and opportunities they face.
