artist residency 2017.
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a unique environment within the Canary Wharf Estate on the Isle of Dogs, E14 5AB for a summer residency. The only stipulation is that work produced is required to respond to this environment.
Canary Wharf is a 97-acre office and retail space created from disused Docklands (http://group.canarywharf.com/)
The space is located within the welfare facilities on a construction site. It is available from 22nd August to 29th September 2017. The room is available from 8am - 6pm Monday to Fridays with Tuesdays and Wednesdays being core days for the group to interact.
The space provides a “studio” and meeting/discussion space. (11.25m x 4.60m) comfortably for a number of artists with a bookable “meeting” room nearby with Smart technology. An external fenced off area will also be provided.
Electricity is available and it is understood that WiFi will also available, phone reception is problematic as the space is one level below ground. There is no running water or sink facilities available in the space although toilet and welfare facilities are provided in separate areas. We may also be able to provide facilities for washing paint brushes if required.
​
​
To open the work up to a wider audience it is intended to involve a number of external artists, industry experts related to Canary Wharf and the Arts and Events team of Canary Wharf .
​
Applications are open to professional artists whose interests lie within these parameters.
