Visit websiteMount Stuart Trust’s Visual Arts Programme has an international reputation working with established artists for over twenty years. In 2018, the programme was expanded to include artists at an earlier career stage. Mount Stuart Trust is delighted to run the residency again this year.
This specialist opportunity will give an emerging artist time and space to explore their practice in relation to Bute island communities and to this end will focus on socially engaged practice.
As part of our commitment to supporting artists from diverse backgrounds we encourage applications from BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and disabled artists. Any artist that identifies in their application as a member of any of these groups and fits the eligibility criteria will automatically be shortlisted.
