Eligibility

This opportunity is open to contemporary visual artists, curators, writers and researchers demonstrating a serious commitment to their practice. This is a chance for artists to work independently or collaboratively in an alternative space. Priority will be given to creative practitioners who do not currently have a studio/production space and to those who can maximise usage of the space during the residency period. The residency will provide time and space for research, experimentation, reflection, dialogue and creative risk-taking. It is important to note that there is no prescribed outcome for this residency. Participants can choose to present their work during an open studio day supported by OVADA if it will benefit them, however public presentation is not a necessity. The opportunity is solely focused on the development of the participant’s practice rather than a completed artwork.

Number of Participants

Up to 10 artists, curators, writers and researchers at any stage in their career will be selected to take part to share our warehouse space and develop practices individually and together in the heart of Oxford, UK
