Applications for Autumn/Winter 2025/26 Research Residency are now open. Application deadline is the 22nd June 2025 and artists will be notified by mid July 2025.
Keep an eye on our instagram and this page for upcoming updates.
The Research Residency is designed to appeal to those who want to spend time with the community at PADA but don’t need a studio space. Aimed at writers, curators, researchers or desk based artists, this residency will provide accommodation and a work space at PADA studios.
Candidates are welcome to apply for periods of 1 or 2 months. The provisional residency periods are as following:
- 7th November – 3rd December (coinciding with 2nd month of PADA 54)
- 2nd January – 29th January (coinciding with PADA 55)
- 3rd February – 2nd March (coinciding with 1st month PADA 56)
- 4th March – 31st March (coinciding with with 2nd month of PADA 56)
- 3rd February – 31st March (coinciding with PADA 56)
There will be a preference for applications that fully align with the International Residency (i.e. we may prioritise an applicant that chooses February-March, rather those that choose February or March alone).
Make sure you read and familiarise yourself with the program and the residency guidelines before applying.
The opportunity will be in line with the International Residency programme and participants are welcome to join in with all social aspects of the programme. We hope this will bring diversity to the activities at PADA and increase the trans-disciplinary nature of the residency as a whole.
The residency includes:
- Private double bedroom within a shared cottage in Santa Bárbara
- Access to facilities at PADA and dedicated desk space
- Introduction tours and presentations day
- Gallery tours
- 1-2-1 with the curator
Participants will not present at critiques or be included in the international residency group show.
Termin: 22. Juni 2025
