Applications are now open for the next round of the Artists Access to Art Colleges scheme (AA2A), which provides artists with access to facilities, expertise and networks within a higher education environment.

AA2A, funded by Arts Council England, supports artist residencies at universities and colleges. The programme allows up to six artists per institution to use facilities for one academic year, helping them explore new creative boundaries and develop their practice. Artists also gain valuable networking opportunities, engage in collaborative learning, and share their expertise with students through workshops and talks. 

The University is excited to host a new cohort in 2024/25 and is looking forward to receiving applications from those interested in spending time at ºÚÁÏÍø.
