residency open call for artists based in the baltics

This residency open call is for an artist at a pivotal stage in their career based in Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia. It combines an eleven-week, fully funded residency at Gasworks in 2027 with a solo exhibition at Gasworks the following year. The residency will take place in London from 7 July – 21 September 2027.

Gasworks’ residencies are self-led, non-prescriptive and process-based, providing artists with time and space to develop their practice, undertake research, engage with the city and build new professional networks. 

Following this residency, the selected artist will continue developing their work towards a solo exhibition at Gasworks in July–September 2028. Throughout this process, they will work in dialogue with Gasworks and the Upė Foundation Curatorial Fellow, allowing the residency, research and exhibition to develop within a longer-term framework of exchange and collaboration.

We ask applicants to carefully read the Application Guidelines and Residency FAQ (in the ‘Resources’ section below) before submitting their application.

This residency is supported by Upė Foundation and forms part of a multi-year partnership with Gasworks designed to support artistic and cultural production with the Baltic region (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) and their diasporas.
