New Forest National Park Residencies 2025/26
Deadline: May 02, 2025
Submission Fee: Free
Eligibility: Open to UK and International Artists
About the residency: The New Forest National Park Artist in Residence Programme is an opportunity for artists of any discipline to work with and comment on a chosen area, idea, or community within or engaging with the National Park. The brief is purposefully open to encourage artists to pursue a line of prolonged research whilst on their residency and to connect with a local and national audience with site specific work and/or a gallery show six months on. The residencies are designed to allow artists to build closer links between contemporary questions of the Forest and the people and more urban spaces that make up the National Park. We are looking for artists with an inspiring vision and a sense on urgency, whose focus is on creativity inspiring change. The highly protected nature of the National Park means that we are interested in artists who can understand this special landscape and respond to this positively in their work. This is an incredible chance to build a collection of responses from artists whose knowledge and experience can help to positively promote arts throughout the National Park.
What you get: The value of each residency is £8,000, which includes a cash payment to the selected artists of £3750 plus £1250 towards travel and materials.
