Velvetpark Residency is a project based live-work studio, awarded through a selection process by open application. It is open to LGBTQ+ visual artists to complete a proposed project.
For almost two decades Velvetpark has recognized queer people in the arts, academia and activism, by featuring stories on, by, or about these individuals in the pages of the print magazine and online. It is in the same spirit that our residency program has been launched and expanded to include imaginative and enterprising LGBT+ creators, who need space to support and cultivate their work.
