The Charitable Trust was established in 1992 and is the legacy of the American feminist writer Tracy O’Kates. We have a small bursary available to cover a weeks residency. Please contact the administrator for information and an application form.

Applying for a Residency

Brisons Veor is a residential studio set up to enable professional artists to spend a focused period of time developing their work. It is open to visual artists, writers, musicians, composers, sound artists, makers and designers in need of a concentrated period of time to develop their ideas. Its purpose is to provide accommodation and workspace to practitioners in need of assistance and who are making a significant contribution in the creative arts sector.

Located on the westernmost edge of Cornwall in the UK, Brisons Veor provides a dedicated live-work space for self-funded residencies between one and four weeks.

The application form, professional CV and examples of your work are our principle way of assessing the quality of your work and proposal. Please take time to complete fully. Please also give us information about your personal situation. This is your opportunity to tell us about what you do, what you would like to do at Brisons Veor and why you feel we should offer you a residency. We want to enable as many artists as possible to experience Brisons Veor’s unique character, and will give preference to new applicants.

We also ask if people are willing to offer a talk or workshop during their stay. This is not a requirement. Depending on availability, artists can arrange workshops and talks at The Lafrowda Club or The Knut in St Just. Please only say yes if you genuinely want to engage with a wider public during a residency, and bear in mind that it is not possible for us to facilitate such arrangements. We are happy to share any of your marketing material on social media.
