Who we are looking for

We welcome applicants who can display a keen dedication to their practice and clarity of proposal.

We welcome applications from individuals who would like to propose a specific project for the duration of the residency or those who would like to use the time to develop existing work for an exhibition or event. 

We encourage practitioners of all types to apply. To date, our Residency Studios have been used by a variety of practitioners -  as a writing space, planning space or making space.

Bon Volks is an organisation focused on giving its members a share in the direction of the studios, so we welcome people who would enjoy working in an open, collaborative atmosphere.

The Project Space is offered free to each successful residency, but it is not critical that it be used as a part of the application.

We recommend that applicants who intend to use the Project Space as part of their application, study the floorplan on our website

All we require from each applicant is that they give one public talk or event at some point in the duration of their residency.

The award is for a single artist. Those who collaborate and wish to apply as a pair - we can not provide accommodation for more than one individual, but would be happy to support a funding bid to provide accommodation for the second applicant.
