London residency for Philippines-based artists.
Gasworks is offering a fully funded eleven-week residency in London from 6 January – 24 March 2027 for an early-career artist based in the Philippines. The open call aims to support professional development, cultural exchange and artistic experimentation.
The residency is self-led, non-prescriptive and process-based, enabling the selected artist to research and develop new work, engage with the city of London, and build their networks. Administrative, pastoral and curatorial support will be provided throughout.
The opportunity supports research, development of new work, engagement with the London art scene, and networking. It includes studio visits, an Open Studio event, visibility via a dedicated residency page, and a video interview.
