Autograph is inviting applications for two fully funded six-month residencies over the period 2025 – 2027 from London based secondary school art and photography teachers from global majority backgrounds. Both residencies come with a professionally curated public presentation opportunity at conclusion.

Apply by 10 am (GMT) Monday 3 February 2025

The residency model is designed to work within the context of a school setting and offers time and space for the resident to develop a new body of work. It is tailored to artist-teachers who have a visual arts practice outside of teaching and are interested in how practice and teaching inform one another.

The project offers the artist-teacher:
• Budget for materials and resources
• Framework and support to create a new body of work
• Time to undertake research and development
• Opportunity to expand teaching style and collaborate in new ways with students examining how the role of artist and educator are integrated
• Opportunity to publicly profile art practice

— The Visible Practice Residency programme is in partnership with The Photographers’ Gallery and generously supported by Freelands Foundation.
