Artist residency in Palmers Green

Arbeit Studios are launching a new artist residency programme, High Street Happenings Residency 23-25 in Palmers Green.

This will be a three-month rolling programme of free studio space from this October through to July 2025 for an artist or collective to work on their practice and create a piece of work to exhibit in response to the theme High Street Happenings.

Organisers are keen to hear from artists whose work is already inspired by Palmers Green high street, or high streets in general.

Applications open on Monday 25th September. For more information visit the Arbeit Studios website
