Two Together Residency
Apply now for Two Together: Porthmeor Studios Residencies, a shared residency supporting experimentation and exchange through making.
The 2027 Two Together: Porthmeor Studios Residencies offer the opportunity for three pairs of visual artists to undertake a shared residency at Porthmeor Studios in St Ives, to enable exchange and learning.
Two Together invites artists to bring a new person into their practice, through a shared residency supporting experimentation and exchange through making. A partnership between Freelands Foundation and Borlase Smart John Wells Trust, the programme also reflects Freelands Foundation’s recognition of the studio as a vital site for learning and making.
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.
Applications close: Monday 30 November 2026, 10am.
