Artist Studios

Housed in the former stables of Carclew House, the artist studios are located on the ground and first floor of a heritage listed building. Artists of any discipline are welcome to apply, providing their practice suits the limitations of the venue. Depending on the artform and amount of space needed, two artists may submit a shared application. The studio’s are offered free of charge for 12 months.

This opportunity is part of Carclew’s Residency Program that provides artists with the chance to reside in a space where they can develop their artform, gain industry support and access opportunities to expand their professional networks.

The other residency opportunity available is for the Foyer Gallery Curator. Please click here for further details.
