Residencies

The South London Gallery’s programme of artist residencies launched in 2010 following the expansion of the gallery after an important building project. Since then, the SLG has hosted the post-graduate residency, a six-month long annual opportunity. The gallery also hosts the annual Open Plan residency and several shorter residencies with artists from across the world. With studio space in the Fire Station building, the residencies offer artists a chance to develop their practice and create new work in the heart of south London.

Past Residencies

The South London Gallery hosts a range of artists’ residencies, giving artists the opportunity to be embedded in the gallery and local area. These range from shorter project based residencies to the six-month Postgraduate Residency and have culminated in exhibitions, offsite commissions and publications. The Fire Station also provides a permanent Artist Studio used by artists during their residencies.
