Perhaps you’re in need of inspiration, be it to work on new commercial briefs or start a series of personal work. You could be struggling to find solace within your home or studio and the sea might be the calm you need. Whatever your reason we want to help you find that peaceful space where your ideas can flow. For those moments you need to escape absolutely everything, we are just a 3 minute walk away from the beach front where you can take solace from the stresses of emails and phone calls and appreciate the beautiful world we all live in.
As well as our passions for art and design, we are also deeply passionate about general well-being and our mental health. Through our own anxieties and fears we created The Artists Pad's 72 Hour Shift programme for artists like ourselves. This programme can be accessed by way of invitation from us or by way of application. This is a completely free programme for anyone within the creative industry, with one 3 night stay per month opened up to applicants who feel they may need that opportunity to relax or have a new perspective on work they are involved with. To date our guests have included photographers, illustrators and musicians, all leaving a piece of artwork to be displayed for the next artists on the programme or holiday makers excited to see what our wall spaces have to offer. There are only three things we ask of you once accepted:
That you enjoy everything Saltburn and The Artists Pad have to offer.
You leave a piece of artwork for us to display within TAP. It can be created whilst with us or it can be something you’ve previously worked on.
You help spread word through social media of our place whilst you’re staying with us.
“Until I was invited to The Artists Pad I’d never had the opportunity or given much thought to the value of dedicated time away from my normal surroundings to focus on my practice. The time, change of scenery and tranquility of its location and the way the space has been modelled allowed me to relax, dream up new ideas and have fun in the process.” - Samuel John Butt, Photographer.
