Opportunities

Artist Proposals

During the course of a year we show the work of approximately 10 - 20 artists in our commissions and exhibitions, developed up to two years in advance.

All of the work we show has been specifically curated to reflect new developments in photography and contemporary visual art.

We are very interested in the work of new and emerging artists but do not have the resources to respond to unsolicited proposals. The best way to make the team aware of your work is to make sure we receive invitations and announcements.
If you would like to submit an exhibition proposal, please email curator@stills.org. Please do not submit proposals by post.

Please include:
CV
A short description of your work (100 words max)
Reference images - a link to your web site or 6 x .pdf format images (1MB max image size)

Each proposal is given careful consideration, and we regard this process as an important part of our programme research.

Please do not send original artwork. Please note that we cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage to unsolicited submitted material.

Unfortunately, due to the number of applications received by Stills, we cannot make appointments to meet with individuals to discuss each application. If we wish to follow up a proposal for further discussion we will contact you to arrange a meeting.

Residencies

Our unique programme of residencies supports a group of artists through a year-long programme of critical, technical and professional development.

We aim to provide an exceptional opportunity for experimentation and reflection to support artists to take significant steps forward with both their practice and career. Residents have unlimited access to Stills’ equipment, facilities and expertise, critical mentorship, a tailored training programme and a stipend. Regular peer-led critiques, reading groups and specialist talks provide the critical backbone of the programme.

For more information on our residency programme please email curator@stills.org

The Stills Residency Programme is funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and Stills and is supported by Habitat and Eastern.
