SHARED SPACE RESIDENCY

SHARED SPACE Residency is hosted by Tannery Arts and Drawing Room, offering a six-month programme (June - November 2026) to support artists who explore drawing within their practice, providing time, space, and a supportive professional environment to develop their work. The residency offers free studio space to be shared collectively. In exchange, we would like artists to support us to increase public access to the Community Studio through a structured ‘open doors’ model.

We are seeking five artists based in Southwark, Lambeth or Lewisham who would particularly benefit from having free studio provision and being part of an active artistic community. Individual artists, duos and collectives are welcome to apply. We want to hear from artists who feel this opportunity would be a valuable experience.
