Everything you need to know about Acrylicize and WCCD’s new collaborative artist residency programme. Applications close on 23rd January 2024
"We’re opening our doors at The Art House London to two Working Class Creatives Database (WCCD) members in February 2024, for a 6-week residency programme that offers free studio space, materials stipend, as well as advice and support from our experienced studio team.
This opportunity for two artists is part of a wider programme we are partnering with WCCD on, which will see around 10 artists occupy our studios throughout 2024."
What you can expect.
Studio space at the centre of London’s creative universe: It’s no secret that good, affordable studio space is hard to find in the capital. Our studio in East London has the space, equipment and vibes you need, for free.
Build your network and community: The two key tenets of the creative industry. You’ll be able to draw on the ecosystem our studio has developed over the past 20 years, and connect with others to support your growth.
Financial support toward your residency: As part of your residency, you’ll be entitled to a £250 stipend to put towards materials for the time of their residency.
Free advice, support and real-world industry experience: From training on key Adobe tools, to understanding how to market, frame and display your works, we have a studio of experts on hand to help and upskill as and when needed.
Opportunity to be a part of our world: Get involved with everything from team lunches and after-work drinks, to artist workshops and creative morning challenges. You’ll feel part of the team.
You’ll also have full access to our studio library, kitchen, mediation room, gallery space, meeting rooms and lounge area.
"This is a brilliant opportunity for working-class creatives to have the space to create in a unique environment that nurtures collaboration and community."
Seren Metcalfe, Founder at WCCD
Who should apply.
For this residency programme, we will only be accepting applications from members of WCCD, and priority will always be given to those most in need of space. If you’re not a member of WCCD already and you would like to apply to be a part of our residency programme, you can join WCCD here.
We encourage applications from creatives who work within all mediums and practices, but you must be based in London, and we expect you to be able to produce a body of work during the six weeks you spend with us.
How to apply.
Simply submit a small portfolio of work and answer a few questions about what you plan to achieve during your time on our residency programme.
