Acme Studios and Southwark Council are offering a
second artist's residency in collaboration with the SLG starting in
January 2008. A free studio for 18 months at The Galleria plus a
grant of £10,000 with mentoring and guidance from the SLG is offered
to an artist living or working in Southwark and involved in socially
engaged practice.

Further information about the
programme
The Galleria Studios Residency Programme was
established in 2006, following the completion of 50 permanent
new-build studios at The Galleria in Peckham. The residency will be
awarded annually to a Southwark-based artist, who receives a
rent-free studio (worth £3,000 a year) for the year, plus a cash
stipend of £10,000.
This is an opportunity for an artist who is

on the development of their practice.
The residency is supported
by three key agencies: Acme, Southwark Council and the South London
Gallery whose curator and director will visit the artist four times
throughout the year. Acme aims to nurture and extend the
relationship between the artist, their work and the wider community,
