Space Hire at Open Source Arts Donation

Thank you!

Thank you for making use of our space at Open Source Arts and continuing to create! We very much want to support local creatives to continue to train, rehearse, broadcast and record in Leeds.

So we have opened up our venue for arts professionals on a donation basis for Winter.

Sustainability

During the winter months the costs to keep our venue open, warm and clean can be quite high. It's a large space to heat and there are extra costs involved with ensuring the space is clean and safe.

For transparency, it normally roughly costs us £30/hr to pay for rent, bills, insurance, cleaning and for the team member to be there.

This is the estimate cost for overheads of our space, and for the purpose of sustainability we aspire to meet this through donations, purchases and services of Open Source Arts.

We've been very lucky to receive some Arts Council England funding which helps cover some core costs over winter. But as we don't currently have much income from our usual workshops, events, etc, any contribution really helps.

We really don't expect everyone to be able to meet this cost! Any amount you're able to contribute is really gratefully received.

Keep creating

More than anything, we are so happy that you're continuing your creative practice and keep the cultural sector in Leeds alive!

Stay safe, warm and creative
