About Artist and Curator Application
Once you have become a standard member you have the option to apply as an artist or curator. To ensure that we continue to present work that demonstrates a critical engagement with contemporary practice, all applications are assessed by a curatorial panel. If you are an artist and / or a curator you should apply for either artist or curator membership in the first instance. You will have the option to upgrade to dual membership if your initial application is successful*.
The annual Axis membership fee is £25 (pay online or by direct debit) or £30 (by cheque, postal order etc). If your application is successful you will be required to pay the membership fee in advance to activate your membership.
*The dual membership fee is currently £35 (pay online or by direct debit) or £40 (by cheque, postal order etc).
