Independently Funded Residencies

Studio Voltaire’s independently funded residencies provide opportunities for those with their own funding to take part in our programme. We welcome individuals and collaborators able to meet the costs of a residency through, for example, the direct support of academic institutions, public funders or foundations. Previous funders include Arts and Humanities Research Council and Arts Council England.

Independently funded residencies can take place throughout the year. Artists, cultural practitioners, writers, and researchers at any stage in their career are welcome to apply. Studio Voltaire also welcomes independently funded residencies with groups, including cultural organisations, companies, and collectives.

The facilities we provide can be used for collaborative projects, small-scale exhibitions, talks, workshops, screenings and other outcomes. Subject to availability, independently funded residents are also welcome to make use of our residency apartments to live and work during their residency.

If you are an artist or practitioner with funding for a residency that you would like to carry out at Studio Voltaire, please send your proposal to info@studiovoltaire.org.

Please note, we will not consider applications that do not already have funding confirmed or that are self-funded.
