Old Church House offers a free residency to photographers, photojournalists and multimedia artists to finish existing projects, develop new work and ideas or create work that have a meaningful and humanitarian aspect to them.
Our residency programme runs throughout the year with the exception of August and Christmas. Each residency lasts 1-2 weeks or by arrangement.
We are also keen to support collaborations between photographers and journalists that seek to develop new and innovative combinations of image and text.
We encourage each residency artist to give a lecture whilst there, which will be focused around their individual practice. These lectures will bring a diverse range of people together and encourage the free flow of ideas.
Grants may be available for projects of a humanitarian nature and which fulfil the aims of Changing Ideas (www.changingideas.org).
Whilst resident at the Church, artists will be granted a daily allowance to cover food and other personal expenditure.
Residents have full use of the space to work on their projects without distraction in an idyllic location. The only thing we ask is that each resident leaves a photograph or piece of work when they leave.
