Call for applications: Multimedia art residency in the UK

IMT is a contemporary art gallery based in East London and was founded in 2005. It exhibits artists working across all media while specialising in installation, sound art and multimedia art. 

The Digital Residencies programme is an experimental project that works with audience subscriptions, with proceeds shared between residency artists and IMT. It will launch on 3 November and run for one year.

The residency will offer an open-studio approach, allowing artists to talk about their practice ‘behind the scenes’ to subscribers and access the inner workings of a contemporary art gallery in London.

The successful applicant will join IMT, along with three other artists invited by IMT for this project. They will be supported over the course of the project with skill shares. This includes mentorship in developing their work by curators Kirsten Cooke and Mark Jackson, and in professional practice, emphasising social media marketing with IMT director Lindsay Friend.
