Get clued up on everything you need to know about UK-based and international artist residencies, including what to keep an eye out for, the process of application writing, practical tips and tricks for when you’re on residency, and how to make residencies actually work for you and your practice development as an artist.
What does a good residency application look like? How do you prepare for a residency? What are the practical things you need to keep in mind? And how can you make sure you make the most of the oppourtunities whilst you’re there?
In this panel talk, former Director at Gasworks Alessio Antoniolli, artist Emmely Elgersma, and Programme Advisor at TransArtists Bojana Panevska will come together and set the scene for the context of their discussion, before unpacking some of these common questions.
Together, they will speak to the different types of UK-based and international residencies out there; the process of application writing and how to build resilience amidst inevitable rejections; the logistics of the everyday-ness of being on residency, including practical tips, tricks, and hacks to know; how to prepare for a residency so you can maximise the opportunity when you get there; as well as providing an exploratory and critical lens on how residencies function in reality and how they could be made better for artists.
The second part of the event will be made up of an interactive Q&A.
This is an online panel talk and will be held via Zoom.
