InnerSpace is a pilot program offering free space at The Medium in Downtown Springdale. InnerSpace is available to artists, community groups, and innovators who need physical space to bring their ideas to life. Applications close on October 30.
About the Program
The Medium, a welcoming space for creative and community expression in downtown Springdale, launched the new pilot program with the support of the Committee for Belonging & Bridging, a collaborative initiative led by EngageNWA at the Northwest Arkansas Council. The Committee, which includes 20 organizations and community partners like The Medium, promotes inclusivity, diversity, equity, and a stronger collective sense of community across Northwest Arkansas.
Applications for the InnerSpace program will close October 30, 2024 at 5PM. Six applications will be selected through a fair and transparent lottery system on November 12, 2024. Selected projects will test new creative or community-building concepts between February and June 2025.
Eligibility
The InnerSpace program is open to anyone 18 years or older living in Benton or Washington counties, and all experience levels are welcome. Project proposals must take place in one day in The Medium’s Blackbox between 9AM to 9PM. Examples of suitable projects include pop-up installations or exhibitions, performance groups rehearsing or presenting new works, workshops or community events, and collaborative projects involving multiple creative disciplines.
