Although it is not a formal scheme, since its development in 2015, the University Art Collection has facilitated several artist residencies alongside The MERL and the University of Reading.
We also work collaboratively with University colleagues to create micro-residencies. Creative practitioners gain access to the Collections, specialised curatorial expertise and the opportunity to share their work to diverse audiences.
CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES
The University Art Collection is seeking an Artist in Residence to respond to drawings in the Collection and run workshops with local secondary school pupils at Maiden Erlegh School, Reading. This residency will take place over the course of three academic years (2025-2027) and use the theme of “Drawing Diversity” as a starting point.
