Local opportunities for artists and creatives

Skip to contents of guide

We occasionally offer paid opportunities for creatives and artists to work with us, including commissions for public art. We also offer spaces for artists and makers to display their work in our available exhibition venues. 

We will update this page with current opportunities and open calls when they become available.

Arts by the Sea

Arts by the Sea has a new exciting artist opportunity for their 2025 festival.

They’re launching an open call for our Artist in Residence Scheme, inviting creatives from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole whether they’re local, studying or have moved away, to apply and make their mark on the festival and the wider area.

The 2025 selected artist will work closely with last year’s Artist in Residence Rebecca Strickson, gaining insights into how to translate their vision across the festival’s platforms.

For those keen to apply, submissions are open now. The deadline is 12pm on Monday 10th March.

Find out more and apply.
