Artist Residencies
Funded residencies available at incredible sites, For visual artists who live and work in Calderdale
In partnership with Calderdale Year of Culture and with local venues across Calderdale, we are launching an Artist in Residence Programme taking place throughout 2024 and 2025. The programme will bring six local visual artists to venues across the borough throughout the Year of Culture, in which the public will be able to see and interact with their creative practice. Immersed in a new environment, the residencies will celebrate the culture and creativity of Calderdale by allowing each artist to explore new ideas while engaging with the local community. People will have the chance to work with the artist in a series of fully accessible workshops and engagement activities, providing space for the exchange of ideas between artists and their communities.
You can learn more about each of the residencies and the application process by clicking on the venues below.
