A North Finchley arts organisation is inviting applications for its artist residency programme providing funding and support to develop a project.

Arts Depot‘s Platform scheme offers artists £1,000 worth of seed funding, rehearsal space and access to support from the organisation’s staff team to successful applications for the residencies in Autumn 2023 and Sprint 2024.

Interested artists have the option of either filling in an application form or submitting a video describing their work and their plans for the project.

The residences are available to artists at all stages of their career with a new idea to explore. One space is reserved for younger artists aged 18-25 and applications from artists from under-represented backgrounds are particularly encouraged.

The deadline for application is Monday 15th May.

Full details are available here.
