Two Together: Porthmeor Studios Residencies

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.

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.

Two Together: Porthmeor Studios Residencies is held in partnership with the Borlase Smart John Wells Trust.

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.

Residents will receive:

• Use of Studio 5 at Porthmeor Studios (shared with your collaborator).
• Accommodation in St. Ives, Cornwall (shared with your collaborator).
• Travel expenses covered to and from St. Ives, Cornwall.
• £2,000 stipend per artist to participate and cover living costs during the residency.
• Support from Porthmeor Studios and Freelands Foundation.
• A unique opportunity to learn from and experiment with another artist in a supportive, process-driven environment.
