The Museum will provide a monthly bursary (taxable), one standard return flight to the UK and additional budget for materials needed for any public facing activities.
A team drawn from the Museum’s staff will provide support throughout the project. We are interested in practitioners who wish to work with the Museum’s resources and collections and would welcome the opportunity to actively work on projects with the public.
The Residency Programme is integral to the philosophy of the V&A, helping to make the Museum’s learning programmes dynamic and creative. For more information on the residency programme: www.vam.ac.uk/residencies
