Oxford, United Kingdom

The Rhodes Art for Global Impact Residency is an international program hosted by the prestigious Rhodes Trust. The residency seeks to support artists whose practices are rooted in social justice and addressing some of the most pressing global challenges. Through collaboration with the Rhodes Scholar community, artists are provided an opportunity for intellectual exchange and creative development. The program culminates in a public exhibition at Rhodes House in Oxford, fostering dialogue around contemporary issues through art. The residency runs annually, alternating between open applications from the public and selections from within the Rhodes Scholar network. Artists working in diverse media, including painting, sculpture, mixed media, and photography, are encouraged to apply, with an emphasis on themes of social impact. Financial support and logistical resources are provided to help artists engage fully with the community and produce impactful works.
