Project DIVFUSE is primarily a not-for-profit artist-run platform. We are open to proposals on sound, film and multimedia events which can be a combination of exhibition, workshops, talks and performances. Unless by invitation, there is a fee for using the space to help with rent and to cover the overheads so that we can keep the project going. The way it operates is that we will manage, host and promote the events and activities for the artists.
In terms of capacity for workshops, talks and performances, we can cater for an audience of up to 8-9 people or 6 with tables and chairs. Due to our constraints, organisers might like to consider running the event in multiple sessions within a weekend.
The indicative hiring fee, including the use of equipment such as:
* speakers [4 x small Genelec 8020D]
* subwoofer [1 x Genelec 7040A]
* projector
* projector screen, media player, tables and chairs
It is generally £250 for one weekend without third-party funding and £380 a weekend with third-party funding. One day’s event is typically £100, or £130 with third party funding, for 5 hours. If testing of equipments prior to the actual event is required, extra fee might be incurred.
To support the hiring fee, we can also help to arrange some ticketed screenings, talks or workshops.

We are open to ideas but please bear in mind that the proposal has to be fair for us too. You can simply send us an email to start a conversation. In your email, please state the following:
- Links to your work
- What are you planning to do in the space e.g. installation with performances, film screening etc
- Duration and approximate timeframe
- How is the project funded e.g. third-party funding; ticket sales to cover part of the cost etc
- NOTE: If third-party funding is in place, an item in your funding application to cover the overhead cost such as rent for a space is expected.
- NOTE: Artists who wish to propose an event but would like to use our space for free will be advised to look into other venues.
