Sustainable Sculpture Residency Program

The New Local Space Sustainable Sculpture Residency is a residency programme based in Maroon Town, St. James, within the Cockpit Country Protected Area of Jamaica. The residency takes place over the course of 7 weeks in the Summer and Winter months. The residency is awarded on a merit basis to two artists at a time, providing them with accommodations in a three bedroom historic house located on an idyllic farm, as well as a shared outdoor workspace. The residency comes with workshops in the use of sustainable materials found readily in the environment, opportunities to learn about local history and culturally significant landmarks, as well as the opportunity for an exhibition in the gallery at New Local Space in Kingston, Jamaica. Full financial assistance is available for qualified applicants based in the Caribbean. Please find the full call for applications here.
