Residencies
Residencies
We run a series of paid residencies for artists at different stage of their careers. They are an opportunity to develop your creative practice and grow as an artist. We understand how difficult it can be finding time to develop new work, particularly early in a career, and are dedicated to supporting artists with paid time to focus entirely on their art. Each residency involves spending time staying in the Glebe Farmhouse with two to three other artists. This has led to some beautiful work by previous residents and the support of emerging and established artists from across the UK including Deborah Westmancoat, Alex Groves, Olivia Lowry and more.
We also support groups to come on residency with us, whether through hiring our spaces directly or a paid residency to develop new work. A recent example of this is the development of the Breselor Ensemble working on new work in the Cornish Language, who with support from us during a residency won the Grand Bard’s Medal for service to Cornish Culture.
Cornish Language Residencies
We run an annual Cornish Language Residency in partnership with Lowender, Creative Kernow and Cornwall Council. The residency brings together artists to explore how Cornwall's living language can inspire and influence their creative practice.
Mornings are spent working alongside experienced Creative Translators, discovering how Kernewek can shape creative thinking and artistic practice. Afternoons provide dedicated time to reflect, experiment and develop new work while living and working alongside fellow creatives in the inspiring surroundings of St Endellion.
For 2026, the residency is focused on creatives whose primary practice uses words to tell stories, exploring how Kernewek can inspire writing, performance and storytelling.
More than a residency, the programme is about creating space for curiosity, collaboration and creative exploration. Whether artists leave with a finished piece, the beginnings of a new project or a fresh perspective on their practice, the residency aims to build lasting connections between creativity, place and Cornwall's living language.
