4 week residency: £ 800

Mentoring Programme:

In addition to the use of our studio, you can also apply to receive mentoring by Sarah and Lee during your residency. This includes a virtual session before your residency to plan your body of work, as well as two critiques/mentoring sessions per week during your residency.

The mentoring programme costs an additional £ 200 per week.

Discount for Atelier students

We are very happy to extend a 20% discount to all students who are either enrolled in or graduates of an ARC-approved Atelier. Please be sure to include relevant information about this in your application, such as where you studied (or are studying) and the dates of your enrolment.

(If you are unsure whether your school is ARC approved, you can visit their website to check. If you feel that you should be eligible for the discount even though your atelier school is not ARC-approved, please contact us directly.)

Criteria for Application:

This is a residency programme for representational artists; we accept applications from those who work in the realist tradition (as opposed to abstract, non-objective or postmoderist genres).

Artists of all experience and skill levels are welcome. We highly encourage those who work from life to apply, as our studio is purpose-designed for drawing and painting from life.
