Our residencies programme supports professional development, cultural exchange, and artistic experimentation. We host up to twenty residencies each year, bringing artists from all over the world to London. All our residencies are self-led, non-prescriptive and process-based; they are about enabling artists to research and develop new work, engage with the city, and build their networks. 

  
We provide administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support throughout the residency, but we expect residents to be self-motivated, and to lead on the research and production of their own work, during their time with us. 

  
This residency is supported by Bella Kesoyan.

**The eleven-week, fully funded residency will take place at Gasworks in London from 7 July – 15 September 2025 and include**: 

  
• 24-hour access to a fully accessible private studio at Gasworks, alongside other resident artists, and a community of London-based studio holders. 

  
• Single room accommodation in Gasworks’ Residency House: a two-story house, with three communal bathrooms and a kitchen, shared with other resident artists. 

  
• Economy return flights and taxi transfers from the artist’s home country to London, including one cabin and one hold luggage. 

  
• All visa costs and support with the visa application process. 

  
• A weekly stipend of £150 to cover living expenses in London. 

  
• A materials budget of up to £800\. 

  
• A prepaid travel card (TFL zones 1+2) for unlimited travel within central London throughout the residency. 

  
• An Open Studio event and presentation introducing the work and research developed during the residency, which will take place on Saturday 6 September. 

  
• Access to Gasworks’ basic tools and AV equipment, subject to availability. 

  
• A dedicated residency page on Gasworks’ website, including short video interview introducing the artist’s work, filmed and edited by Gasworks during the residency. 

  
• Networking opportunities and at least two individual studio visits with other artists, curators and arts professionals.

Residency open call for artists based in Georgia

The highly anticipated Signature Art Prize 2025 is now open for submissions, inviting emerging artists to showcase their distinctive creative style at the start of their professional careers.

  
Established by Gallery Directors Isobel Beauchamp and Elinor Olisa, the Signature Art Prize was founded to identify and celebrate the unique ‘Signature Style’ of early-career artists. They define an artist’s ‘signature style’ as being “that which makes an artist unique; a combination of process and method, contributed to by the artist’s own personality which results in a piece that is unique and specific to them.” With their extensive experience in the contemporary art market, Beauchamp and Olisa are dedicated to nurturing artistic individuality and supporting new talent.

  
Those who visit university degree shows will be aware of the remarkable talent and high standards on show; The Signature Art Prize aims to capture this energy and assist young artists in exhibiting and promoting their work in an often challenging art world. 

  
Previous winners have gone on to achieve great success and industry acclaim, with their artwork being included in public collections as well as having the opportunity to showcase in stunning locations.​

  
The deadline for submissions is 25 February 2025.

  
For further details and to apply, please visit www.signatureartprize.com.

Selected finalists will be invited to participate in the Signature Art Prize Gala Exhibition in June 2025, where they will have the opportunity to present their work in a prestigious gallery setting. In addition to gallery representation, winners will receive prizes generously provided by our sponsors and the opportunity to take part in a month-long artist residency in a central London studio.
