Applications are now closed. There will be another open call next year – if you’d like a reminder nearer the time, or to hear about other upcoming opportunities for artists, sign up to our newsletter by emailing artistdevelopment@theglasshouseicm.org

FOUNDRY 2023 makes our Sage Two performance space available to artists for 4 days of intensive development and rehearsal time, handing the venue over to musicians making new work in an unprecedented way.

We are looking for established artists in any genre with an exciting idea which needs further development, or a project ready to tour or perform, which would benefit from 4 days of intensive rehearsal with the support of our technicians and Artist Development team.

The package includes:

  • Four days in Sage Two (400 capacity venue with flexible layouts)
  • Optional relaxed sharing to showcase what you’ve been working on
  • Up to £1000 towards costs e.g. filming, accommodation costs
  • Basic venue staffing support
  • Help with applying for funding to support taking part in the residency and future plans for your project
  • Additional money is available for access costs, see below
