The Studio Project at Market Gallery has been developed to support emerging artists and artists’ collectives. It provides a unique opportunity for artists to focus on the development of their practice during an intensive period of production followed by an exhibition.

The successful applicants will have 24-hour access to one of the gallery’s shop fronted spaces for use as a studio and exhibition space. The residency will last a total of 4 weeks followed by a 4 week exhibition. Artists will be expected to treat Market Gallery spaces as an open studio, allowing progress to be visible and also encouraging interaction with the public.

Aims of the Residency

The residency aims to provide time and space for the development of ideas and production of new work and to facilitate the artists’ career development by providing opportunities for discussion and networking. The artists will also be expected to conduct an education event that coincides with their practice or exhibition this often takes the form of a talk, workshop or event. Market are particularly interested in applications that deal with the education strand in innovative and challenging ways.

Studio Project artists will also be asked to select an established artist or curator to provide a tutorial during the residency, providing a valuable mentorship opportunity for the successful applicants.
