Two Together: Porthmeor Studios Residencies 2027

The 2027 Two Together: Porthmeor Studios Residencies offer the opportunity for three pairs of visual artists to undertake a shared residency at the historic Porthmeor Studios in St Ives, Cornwall, to enable exchange and learning.

Artists from Devon or Cornwall are invited to apply with another UK-based artist. Applicants are encouraged to consider how you will benefit from working together, how your practices connect, and why this residency is timely for you both, as well as how a shared studio space will benefit each of you. The residency necessitates process-led experimentation. We are interested to see practices, ideas and projects developed through an engagement with materials and materiality.

The Two Together residencies emphasise exploration, experimentation and shared learning, allowing artists to focus on creative growth and exchange through making.

We are seeking joint applications from two visual artists—one of whom must be based in Devon or Cornwall–who do not already work together in an existing partnership. 

Each pair will have access to a large, shared studio, shared accommodation, travel support and a stipend to cover living costs for one month. Artists will be encouraged to document their experience, though there is no expectation of final work(s) or resolved outcomes.
