All Spaces Are Creative Spaces: Artist Residency Programme

This residency offers a comprehensive support package designed to give artists the resources, guidance and platform they need at a crucial stage in their careers.

The programme includes:

• 8-week residency at The Art House, our East London studio (full-time access, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, 2nd March - 30th April 2026)
• One-to-one mentoring from Acrylicize's experienced curatorial and production teams
• Development of commissioned artwork – a series of three original pieces per artist
• Public exhibition showcasing the work created during the residency
• Professional documentation with photography and film coverage
• Permanent placement of artworks in a prestigious private collection
• £1,000 participation fee (inclusive of specialist materials if required)
• £2,000 procurement fee for the commissioned series (for a series of three artworks, per artist)

This residency is designed specifically for artists who would most benefit from structured support, time and space at this stage in their practice. We particularly welcome applications from artists who are at the early stages of their careers, from underrepresented, marginalised or low-income backgrounds, and whose work engages with the core themes of wellbeing, equity, sustainability, care or community.

To apply, please ensure the following is true of your practice:

• An artist living, working or studying within London
• Working in wall-based art disciplines
• Available to commit to the full residency period (full-time, 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday)
