Brent
2023–2024

ACAVA Hosts: Barham Park Studios Residency is a career development opportunity for a socially engaged artist from a Global Majority background to be based at one of our studio communities in North London.

A career development opportunity for an artist to be based within one of our studio communities in North London. The artist in residence will receive six months of rent-free studio space, peer-to-peer support, training opportunities and guidance to deliver our Young Artists programme.

We are interested in applications from artists who consider social engagement integral to their practice; who have some experience in working with children from diverse backgrounds; who enjoy working collaboratively; and who would benefit from professional development training to further their practice.

You must be aged 18 or over, based in London and an artist from a Global Majority background to be eligible for this residency.
