Spryte is an online artist-led project. We show artists' moving-image works, as well as audio and text. These all take place sporadically online and are free to access. Spryte is fundamentally artist-run, we don’t really have any fixed programmes and we are sporadic, funded by ourselves and donations from individuals via Patreon starting from £1 (those who donate don't receive any extra access, it's just an opportunity for those who like the project to give some support). To keep up to date with Spryte's projects, please subscribe to our newsletter below!

Spryte always pays artists and contributors to show their work
and also keeps the stream freely available to anyone with access
to the internet.
It is core to Spryte that this is funded by small
contributions and donations from multiple people who support the project.
It’s an active decision to use this alternative funding model, which
diverges from how many other art projects are funded, allowing us to be
independent and show work that we believe in, while also ensuring everyone is paid.
For those who wish to support Spryte, we ask for donations of either
£1, £2.50 or £5 a month to go towards directly funding the artist fees
and any essential costs to sustaining this stream. With more donations
and contributions, we can set up more streams, pay more artists and pay
those artists more.
To support Spryte in this way, please visit our Patreon.
Thank you!
Spryte was created and is managed by artists Rashi Rajguru and Cameron Scott.

Spryte is artist-run and financially supported by individuals - parameters that are really important to us. In line with this, we would like to introduce something we really care about: that anywhere which shows work should be open to submissions and proposals, which are also treated exactly the same as the rest of the programme.
We are very happy to say that Spryte is open to submissions! We are going to keep the application process as light on your labour as possible. If you would like to submit a work - video/moving-image or text-based, please email us at hello@spryte.info with the subject as “Submission” + your name. In the email, please include a link to the work you would like us to see and any writing you feel necessary/relevant (there also doesn’t need to be any writing attached at all). To keep things equally light on our side, if we would like to stream the work we will get in touch.
Most importantly, we current only show works that have already been made (although we hope to fund/commission works in the distant future).
If successful the work will be streamed on Spryte (if moving-image) or posted on the website permanently (if text-based), just like all the other works we’ve shown.
Each presented work receives a £100 screening/artist fee (paid for thanks to the support of our patrons via Patreon, while we make up the rest). The fee reflects what the project can currently afford, but we hope and plan for this to grow as we increase our supporters!
We promote the stream or publication of text a week or two before on our newsletter, and some exhibition news websites.
In terms of what we look for, we keep this as open as possible. Our programme is very open in terms of subject and content - some streams are more audio-focused, others are live webcams, documentaries and other types of footage that sit more outside the realm of artist-made moving-image work (as well as some that are very much positioned within that realm, too). One key thread between all streams is a playful approach to narrative - something that we are deeply interested in and an element which spans many fields and mediums.
See our Archive page on our website for a look at what we’ve shown before - although, this is also just a slice of the type of work we are interested in showing.
We stream moving-image works on loop for 12 hours, on a Sunday (we may also try some 24 hours ones soon) on sporadic Sundays, approximately once a month (again, we’re hoping this grows... more funding = more streams!)
We can’t wait to see your work!
