Artist Residencies in Coniston with Stipend

Grizedale Arts

Coniston, United Kingdom

Grizedale Arts is a contemporary arts organisation based at Lawson Park farm near Coniston in the Lake District, UK, operating as a residency and commissioning agency focused on integrating art into everyday life through hands-on, communal projects. Over the past decade, it has shifted from traditional artist residencies to a flexible model involving commissioned works, research stays, volunteering opportunities, and roles as associate artists within local, national, and international programmes. Residencies emphasise practical skills like construction, crafts, and sustainable initiatives, often at Lawson Park or The Farmer's Arms, with examples including volunteer builds and paid potter positions.
