Artist in Residence opportunity at Kensington

Exciting things are happening at Kensington! 

We’d like a graphic designer, printmaker, illustrator or textile artist to undertake a residency with the Access and Learning team at Kensington this summer.

Kensington Palace is being transformed. Work is underway to create new spaces, places and narrative routes as part of a £12 million renovation project to bring the amazing characters and stories of Kensington to a wider audience. It is the greatest change to come to Kensington in over a century and offers us a fascinating opportunity to explore and learn about the very fabric of Kensington’s history.

During some recent building work we’ve uncovered a fascinating glimpse into the past decoration of the palace through scraops of wallpaper dating back 200 years hidden under panels and plaster. It’s this hidden history that will be the inspiration for the project. We’d like you to take these fragments as a starting point to create new work in dialogue with our palace community and learning audiences.
