Tips for applying for a residency
General advice from us, the same for every residency. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Describe the work you will do during the residency, and show recent work that makes it believable.
- Check what is covered: travel, a place to stay, a fee to you, materials.
If there is an interview or a test
- Be ready to talk about your work and why this place and this time.
All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.
