In February 2022 we announced a new call out in partnership with University of the Arts London (UAL) and Art for the Environment (AER). The programme, set up by Professor Lucy Orta, provides UAL graduates with the opportunity to apply for a two to four week fully funded residency at one of their internationally renowned host institutions, to explore concerns that define the 21st century – biodiversity, environmental sustainability social economy and human rights.

Guest Artists Space Foundation collaborated with the UAL Postgraduate Community to offer two four-week residencies hosted at our buildings in Lagos and Ijebu respectively. Applications were accepted from UAL postgraduates (MA and PhD) and recent alumni (within 24 months from graduation).
