Free Artist Residencies in Wakefield, West Yorkshire

Royal Over-Seas League

Wakefield, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

The Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) partners with The Art House in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, UK, to offer two fully funded two-month artist residencies annually for international visual artists from Commonwealth or former Commonwealth countries, the US, EU/EEA, or Switzerland who have not yet exhibited or worked in the UK. Residents receive dedicated studio space, on-site accommodation, travel/visa coverage, per diem, material budgets, access to print, ceramic, and darkroom facilities with technician support, plus networking and professional development opportunities including visits to London galleries. The program emphasizes creative development over mandatory outcomes, with optional open studios or exhibitions.
