Welcome At Brisons Veor Artist Residency
Our mission is to provide support for creatives facing challenging circumstances. Brisons Veor is a residential workspace set in an inspiring and unique location, where creatives in any medium can take time out to work on a project, away from the day-to-day distractions of their home lives. We recognise the diverse obstacles that artists may encounter, from financial struggles and health issues to full-time caregiving responsibilities or the lack of adequate studio space. Our commitment is to offer affordable live/work space, ensuring artists have an environment where they can focus on their projects.
In some cases, we provide bursaries to fully fund a one-week residency.
We assess each application on its own merits, welcoming artists engaged in research, exhibition preparation, or facing impending deadlines who require a studio space for concentrated work.
The studio is available year-round for self-funded residencies at affordable rates, for a maximum period of four weeks.
