RESIDENCY PROGRAMME 2025

An installation made during the Art and Energy Residency in 2022.

Looking for a temporary space to make work, host a workshop or event, create a project? Could having a residency at Grow’s project space could be the solution?

In 2025, we invite artist and artist collectives to take over this centrally located space near Plymouth City Centre for 3-weeks at a time.

WHAT THE RESIDENCY INVOLVES:

The cost to artists for hiring the project space for 3 weeks is £500 which includes access to the space and dependent on the residency, also includes 1 x launch event, 1 x workshop and 1 x weekend open to the public. This price is designed to be as affordable as possible, makes use of the space for creative/community activity, whilst generating income to give us a better chance of financial sustainability.

Residencies are limited so Grow encourages enquiries from groups of artists with projects aligning with its ethos - public engagement, performance, social engaged practice, visual arts, sustainability, community, experimentation and inclusion.

Sue Lewry’s Collosal opening event, part of her residency at Grow Plymouth

“My residency at GROW provided the space and time I needed to focus on my Colossal project. I invited the creative community to a launch event, which offered an excellent opportunity to raise awareness and foster connection for my socially engaged print project. The team at GROW met my needs in a kind, progressive, and professional way, making everything run smoothly from start to finish.The atmosphere and support from GROW, including the studio residents, made me feel at home, and their values towards grassroots arts and cultural activities align”

— Sue Lewry, Artist and Printmaker

ABOUT THE SPACE

Grow is an art initiative in its own right.  The premise is that bringing people together will make a place, grow and ideally thrive, with the right conditions. It is based on, and part of the ecosystem, that is grassroots music and art venue Grow Hackney and studio ecosystem Grow Studios in London. Grow Plymouth does not receive funding.
