Our residencies programme supports professional development, cultural exchange, and artistic experimentation. We host up to sixteen residencies each year, bringing artists from all over the world to London. All our residencies are self-led, nonprescriptive and process-based; they are about enabling artists to research and develop new work, engage with the city, and build their networks. We provide administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support throughout the residency, but we expect residents to be self-motivated, and to lead on the research and production of their own work, during their time with us.

  
This residency is supported by Selim & Houda Bouafsoun.

**The eleven-week, fully funded residency will take place at Gasworks in London from 6 October – 22 December 2025 and include:**

  
• 24-hour access to a fully accessible private studio at Gasworks, alongside other resident artists, and a community of London-based studio holders.

• Single room accommodation in Gasworks’ Residency House: a two-story house, with three communal bathrooms and a kitchen, shared with other resident artists.

• Economy return flights and taxi transfers from the artist’s home country to London, including one cabin and one hold luggage.

• All visa costs and support with the visa application process.

• A weekly stipend of £150 to cover living expenses in London.

• A materials budget of up to £800.

• A prepaid travel card (TFL zones 1+2) for unlimited travel within central London throughout the residency.

• An Open Studio event and presentation introducing the work and research developed during the residency, which will take place on Saturday 6 September.

• Access to Gasworks’ basic tools and AV equipment, subject to availability.

• A dedicated residency page on Gasworks’ website, including short video interview introducing the artist’s work, filmed and edited by Gasworks during the residency.

• Networking opportunities and at least two individual studio visits with other artists, curators and arts professionals.

• Administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support from Gasworks’ staff during office hours, from 10am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

The Chicago-based Harpo Foundation was established in 2006 to support emerging visual artists, stimulate creative inquiry, and encourage new modes of thinking about art.

To that end, the foundation is inviting applications for its Visual Artists Grants program. Through the program, grants of up to $10,000 will provide direct support to underrecognized visual artists age 21 or older. Applications are evaluated on the basis of the quality of the artist’s work, the potential to expand aesthetic inquiry, and its relationship to the foundation’s priority to provide support to visual artists who are under recognized by the field.

Call for Artists: Loop Art Critique and Laura Hyunjhee Kim

We believe that art is for everyone and that everyone can be an artist!

Whether you went to art school or not, it’s never too late to follow your dreams and passions!

  
Groups of artists from different disciplines will reside at the same time, and will participate in painting workshops, theater, photography, cooking, wine tasting, and storytelling.

This gives the artists opportunity to collaborate and gain new ideas and insights from peer interaction and discussion groups that can be applied to the development of their work. There is also plenty of free time for residents to work on projects and explore the nature that surrounds us. Every evening after our communal meal, you can have fun and relax, with a different theme every night, including games, movies, karaoke, and a bonfire.

  
With this program, we do not provide a set itinerary for artists. Artists can intensely dedicate to their work in progress or develop new projects. The main goal is that artists are able to focus on their ideas and projects, enhancing creativity and inspiration and connect, between them, the local community and nature.

During your stay there will be advisors on location to discuss ideas, projects, and progress of work throughout your stay, respecting your pace and direction.

RESIDENCE PROGRAM FEE with 3 plant-based meals included:  Shared room with shared bathroom: 420 euros (7 nights). Private room with private bathroom: 700 euros (7 nights)
