Lake House Arts Artist Residency OpportunitiesĀ
Lake House Arts is pleased to announce the launch of our new Artist ResidencyĀ Programme, beginning inĀ JanuaryĀ 2026.Ā

This residency is open to a broad range of creative practitioners, including visual artists, designers, sound and digital artists, writers, and otherĀ creatorsĀ whose practicesĀ benefitĀ from dedicated time and space to develop their work.Ā
Residents will be formally inductedĀ intoĀ the spaces, including access, lock-up procedures, and site use.Ā While both studios occasionally host pre-booked workshops, these will be clearly communicated prior to the start of each residency.Ā Artists are asked to ensure the space is left tidy, safe, and ready for theĀ nextĀ beforeĀ theseĀ workshops.Ā
The residency does not include accommodation, but residents are welcome to enjoy the many amenities on site, including our cafĆ©, reading areas, gardens, bathrooms, and shower facilities.Ā
