In this new blog series members of our team share their top tips, resources and expertise.
Hello I’m Charlie Kelly, I’m the administrator for ACAVA and work with the studios, communications and programming teams. Part of my role is studios admissions; I absolutely love reading artists’ applications and I am responsible for setting up studio viewings and contracts for practitioners joining our studio community. I’m also a sculptor, exploring art forms in nature.
In this blog piece, Charlie explains what can make your application stand out when you apply for one of our studios.
