UK | 2026 residency for artists based in India

Gasworks is calling for applications from early-career artists based in India for an 11-week, fully funded residency that will take place in London from 7 July – 22 September 2026.

The residencies programme supports professional development, cultural exchange, and artistic experimentation. They host up to 10 residencies each year, bringing artists from all over the world to London. All the residencies are self-led, non-prescriptive and process-based; they are about enabling artists to research and develop new work, engage with the city, and build their networks.

Gasworks provides administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support throughout the residency, but they expect residents to be self-motivated, and to lead on the research and production of their own work.

This residency is supported by the Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation and the Charles Wallace India Trust.

The selected artist will receive:

• Private studio
• Accommodation
• Economy return flights and taxi transfers
• All visa costs and support with the visa application process
• A weekly stipend of 175 GBP to cover living expenses in London
• A materials budget of up to 800 GBP
• A prepaid travel card (TFL zones 1+2)
• An Open Studio event and presentation introducing the work and research developed during the residency, which will take place on Saturday 12 September
• Access to Gasworks’ basic tools and AV equipment, subject to availability
