Residency Program

The Muse Gallery has been supporting emerging artists through its residency program since 2004. This program offers studio space, exhibition opportunities, and industry connections to help cultivate emerging talent. The gallery also hosts an annual group show, which awards successful artists with residency positions.

The gallery has launched a Sponsor program to further support emerging artists by providing financial assistance to kickstart their careers. Established by artists, the gallery merges creative and commercial concepts under one roof, supporting contemporaries.

In addition to the residency program, The Muse Gallery & Studio offers exhibition space to more established artists for a nominal commission. However, with limited slots available each year, the gallery’s affiliated artists and professionals select shows and provide appraisals to proposals in need of refinement.

The gallery opens its doors throughout the year to host community arts projects, musicians, film makers, and live performers. Events range from ‘Sound art’ to ‘Cult film’ evenings and associated seminars.

The residency program is available to recent BA and MA graduates, offering a group and solo show during their time with The Muse Gallery & Studio. The gallery works to secure public and private sector funding for its residents and visiting artists, offering professional development opportunities during visiting shows throughout the year.

Established in 2003, The Muse Gallery & Studio continues to improve conditions for arts practice and exhibition, placing ‘artists for artists’ at the heart of its organization. As a UK charity for the arts, with registration number 1162300, interested parties can contact the gallery directly for more information.
