Workplace for artists

Through the artistic workplace, Globe Aroma supports artists on the move by providing them with a space to work and think, access to tools, and a professional network in the art field.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Globe Aroma specifically works with people in forced displacement (refugees, asylum seekers, stateless people,…). People who, due to their precarious citizenship status, may face particular obstacles in accessing the art field and engaging in artistic activities. To become part of the artistic workplace, we encourage artists to reach out to Globe Aroma to discuss with the team and co-design a tailored trajectory.

WHICH ARTISTIC DISCIPLINES DO WE SUPPORT?

We support artists working in the visual arts (for example, drawing, painting, installation, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, jewelry, textiles, and so on). Artists with a photographic, video, or audiovisual practice are welcome to use our spaces and network. We currently have a limited media lab at your disposal (Adobe suite, camera, graphic tablet). Artists with a dance, theatre, or performance practice can use our rehearsal space. We mainly support performative practices in their early stages.

HOW WE WORK

Globe Aroma is not an exhibition space but rather a workplace. As part of our support to artists in the dedicated space, we support in seeking exhibition and sales opportunities outside Globe Aroma. The open co-working space and atelier/rehearsal space operate on the values of sharing and collective maintenance. Supplies and space are shared and need to be cared for collectively by the team, artists, and volunteers. Globe Aroma works with artists, not for artists. Artists wishing to join the artistic workplace are invited to commit to these values and participate in collective discussions (Atelier Assemblée) and cleaning days.
