Visit the "Extra Special People" website for full and up-to-date information about Eastside Projects' associates programme.

Extra Special People (ESP) is an associate membership programme for anyone who would benefit from engaging with a dynamic, ambitious, artist-led environment. By joining ESP you can become part of a group who meet to develop their own and others’ practice within a regional, national and international context supported by Eastside Projects’ experience and connections.

ESP members are offered a range of opportunities to develop their practice and career through critical group discussions, practical support and guidance, exhibition and residency opportunities, networking events and one-to-one support from established arts professionals and Eastside Projects staff. Dialogue between members is generated and supported through a weekly programme of informal and formal events including seminars, talks, film screenings and visits to exhibitions, events and projects.

Salon – Weekly programme of events with a range of seminars and panel discussions planned for the coming months, in addition to more informal talks and screenings. Members are encouraged to suggest their own ideas for content for this weekly slot.
Toolkits – Practical sessions run by arts professionals offering advice and guidance to artists on a wide range of activities such as successfully documenting work and working with print / publishing.
