Associate Artists

Associate Artists and Lowry

Our Associate Artists are mid-career or established artists and companies who are making nationally or internationally touring work, and tackling the challenges of our industry. Over a sustained period of time we work together to explore the questions that sit at the heart of our Associate’s practice and support them to explore, respond and challenge those questions through creative and professional development activity. 

Associate Artists programme 

We are committed to a new approach to Associate Artists relationships in which we aim to cultivate a true, balanced partnership between artist and venue.  

We believe in the social and artistic impact of our Associate Artists’ work and invest in the making, production and touring of their work.  

By democratising the relationship and ensuring that both parties are making contributions, directing the support and being heard in the conversation, artists and venues are empowered and supported by each other, as they should be. 

Who is it for? 

Experienced mid-career artists and companies who are confident in their practice and their artistic voice, and who want to invest time and effort in a relationship with a venue in order to develop themselves and the industry at large.
