About the opportunity
This residency is a pilot six-month career development opportunity for artists from minority backgrounds based in London.
In lieu of an artist fee, the residency offers a range of opportunities with a cash value of at least £3,500.
The artist will have the opportunity to develop their studio practise while gaining facilitation experience by delivering co-created workshops to a small group of 6-8 young people as part of our Young Artists programme. Other CPD training will be offered depending on the artist’s individual needs.

J D Rooney
J.D Rooney is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in London. His practice often stems from the complexities regarding feelings of dislocation, longing, and connection from both his Guyanese and Irish heritage; the double-conscious perspective of black and brown bodies in white spaces; and the hope for physical, economic, and political border crossings.
