A 12 month residency and helping hand to grow their business is on offer at The Bishop's Palace in Wells to young creatives at the start of their career.

The exciting new Artist in Residence post at the historic site will start in 2023 and, as Chief Executive Jan Wallwork Clarke says,

"We're keen to support young people who work in any creative medium and we're also interested in supporting community engagement activities that our new Artist in Residence may be interested in developing.

It's a great opportunity for someone just starting out in their creative career who we hope will be inspired by our 14 acres of beautiful RHS partner gardens and stunning medieval Palace buildings".

The successful individual doesn't necessarily have to be permanently on site but the Palace is looking for someone who would be keen to donate some form of artistic installation as part of their residency.

Interested parties are encouraged to contact The Bishop's Palace via email to [email protected] with 'Artist in Residence' as the subject.
