Future Artists Residency

A new residency programme for early-career artists.

Developed to support artists at the beginning of their practice, this 12-month residency provides studio space, financial support, mentoring, and a dedicated artist development programme.

Designed as a bridge from the ongoing Future Artists Programme initiative into longer-term practice development, this residency has been structured across three key phases to support the artistic conditions for recipients to establish a studio practice, develop a portfolio and track record, build meaningful peer networks, and gain greater confidence navigating the cultural sector

What this residency includes

  • Free studio space at Somerset House Studios
  • Access to on-site facilities and project spaces
  • £1,500.00 bursary.
  • Artist mentorship from the Somerset House Studios community
  • Curatorial support from the Studios team.
  • Access to Grounding Practice artist development events
  • Free access to Somerset House's cultural programme, supporting continued inspiration, research, and learning

Eligibility:

This residency is available to artists who have completed Somerset House's Future Artists Programme.
