AA2A placements
Date uploaded: August 21, 2013
The AA2A project (Artists Access to Art Colleges) are offering over 100 placements for artists and designer makers which give them the opportunity to undertake a period of research or realise a project using art college facilities eg. workshops, IT facilities, lending library, and lecture programme. AA2A schemes aim to benefit students and institutions through their interaction with practising artists.
- Access is free, for at least 100 hours, between Oct 2013 and April 2014.

- Closing dates for applications vary but all are in September 2013.
- Artists on AA2A schemes run from 2011 to 2012 or before can now reapply.
- Applicants must have at least one year’s professional practice.
- Applicants should be able to work with minimal technical support.
