What is the Residency?
Our Residency has been created by artists, for artists.
We offer an experience rooted in exploration, collaboration, and the natural landscape of Kelburn.
This residency will support 6 artists for two weeks to live together, collaborate, and expand their own practice in the setting of Kelburn's stunning Neverending Glen.
Through a series of workshopping techniques and collaborative 'play' with renowned artist Sue Hill, participants will be challenged to work in new ways and experience the landscape through a different lense. Artists will have time to explore alone and work on cultivating ideas and concepts for their own piece of work.
Artists will be expected to produce one self-generated work of art as well as one piece of group/collaborative art. All the works will all be installed and/or performed as part of The Neverending Glen exhibition during Kelburn Garden Party Festival 2025.
