About the residency
Inspection Pit's residency programme is designed to provide artists with the time and space they need to focus on their practice without distractions.
The selected artist is invited to stay on-site for up to one month in private accommodation, with access to a dedicated studio for independent work. They may also have the opportunity to present a body of work in a solo exhibition approximately six months after the residency ends.
Accommodation is provided free of charge, and a bicycle is available for use in the local area. The artist must provide their own food and studio materials, and cover all travel, transportation and day-to-day living costs.
