    Get Involved!

    There are a range of opportunities for you at Metal.

    We regularly hold bookable ‘Open Advice’ sessions at each of our sites. We advertise paid ‘Open Call’ residencies through call outs twice each year. Our unpaid ‘Time & Space’ residencies are always open, as is our ‘Metal New Artist Network’. To learn more about these opportunities, follow the links below.

    Large-Scale Event Network
    Do you run a large event or festival? Maybe it’s a parade, a festival on a green, or a multi-site art exhibition? Do you want to connect with others who might run similar events? Or, do you have big dreams about making your festival a reality? Together with the Peterborough Cultural Alliance, Metal Peterborough is hosting a Large-Scale Event and Festivals Gathering, bringing together groups, individuals, organisations and the people who work hard behind the scenes, from in and around Peterborough. Learn more and join the network here.
