New Vacancies - Artist in Residence 2026-2027
Are you an early to mid‑career artist, creative practitioner or collective with a passion for community‑focused, socially engaged work? Our Open Doors Artist in Residence programme offers a unique opportunity to develop your practice, collaborate with diverse communities, and create new work inspired by the remarkable collections, buildings and stories held across Newark and Sherwood.
Based in a working studio at the National Civil War Centre and Newark Museum, each residency invites artists to co‑create with local people, explore our heritage, and bring fresh creative perspectives to our historic sites. You’ll work both in the public studio, offering visitors a behind‑the‑scenes view of your creative process, and out in the community with groups across the district, helping to remove the barriers of cultural engagement and inspire new ways of connecting with arts and culture.
These residencies are ideal for artists whose practice is accessible, inclusive, and responsive to people and place. Whether you work in visual arts, writing, performance, textiles, photography, digital media, design, or another discipline, we want to hear from practitioners who are excited to collaborate, experiment, and make a meaningful impact.
We’re offering two residencies across 2026 and 2027, each supported by a comprehensive brief, a dedicated project team and a budget to deliver participatory workshops, public engagement and creative outcomes.
