Rochford District Council is offering local artists and voluntary community groups the chance to promote their work with free exhibition space at the Rayleigh Windmill or at the Mill Arts & Events Centre.
The historical Windmill hosts a small museum as well as a self-contained exhibition space on the 2nd floor, and at the Mill Arts & Events Centre, artworks will be displayed in its busy foyer.
There is no charge to use the exhibition spaces. Artists or groups would typically be allocated three to four weeks in either space, from April 2023.
Artists and voluntary community groups can express their interest in either opportunity by emailing leisure@rochford.gov.uk or telephone 01702 318120. Our Culture Officer will provide further information on the opportunities and the application process.
Councillor Daniel Efde, Portfolio Holder for Customer Services, Legal & Leisure, said: “By making these iconic spaces available to artists, creators, and community groups we hope that this will be a great opportunity to get their work out there for the public to see.”
The deadline for expressing an interest in either opportunity is 10am on Monday 23rd January 2023.
