We awarded a total of 9 week-long residencies for our Moving Ideas program this year, adding some additional funds from our reserves to allow an extra three. The residencies will be happening in the studio from January - April. We look forward to sharing the resident artists' work with you over the coming months.

We received double the amount of applications of previous years and the additional residencies were a response to the demand. We want to thank all artists who put in proposals for this opportunity, and to thank Martin del Amo and Angela Goh who, alongside our Creative Producer, Jane McKernan, made up the panel making decisions.
