About the Open Call

House Work Presents welcomes artists from across disciplines to participate in a one-month residency in Hackney, East London. The program supports experimentation, dialogue, and creative exchange by providing time, space, and professional development. The residency includes bespoke weekly mentorship sessions, dedicated studio space, a £200 production budget, and culminates in a professionally curated solo exhibition.

What is Offered

Free private accommodation and studio space for one month, weekly mentorship sessions, a solo exhibition, a £200 production budget, professional development package (publication, bio, CV, catalog), and full administrative visa support.

Requirements

Open to early-career artists of all disciplines including visual arts, performance, writing, sound, and digital media. Applicants must be fluent in English.
