About

It is open to artists at any career stage from Commonwealth or former Commonwealth countries, the USA, EU/EEA states or Switzerland who have not yet exhibited or worked in the UK; artists returning to practice after a break are encouraged.
The package covers travel and visa costs, a per diem for living costs, a materials and UK travel budget, mentoring and coaching. The 2026 open call closed on 7 February 2026; the 2027 call has not yet been published.
