5 Days left to apply for our Residency opportunity with YSP!
Set in 500 acres of stunning landscape, Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is an international centre for the creation, display and appreciation of modern and contemporary sculpture. For over forty years residencies have been at the heart of YSP, offering opportunities for artists to reflect and move forward with their practice.
We understand that people with less social and economic capital do not have the same access to cultural opportunities. Class origin has been identified as one of the most significant barriers to the culture sector in research such as the Panic! report funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. We are privileged to be collaborating with the Working Class Creatives Database (WCCD) to offer an on site residency at YSP in October 2023.
This Award is open to application for members of the WCCD and will be selected in collaboration between YSP and WCCD. Names will be removed to anonymise applications before shortlisting.
Joining WCCD is free and by self-definition. Join WCCD here.
