Mind the Gap: Designing residencies for everyone
2023 Res Artis conference
6-9 September 2023
Mind the Gap: Designing residencies for everyone brought the international artist residency community together in the UK for the very first time, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Res Artis and 50 years of Acme.
The 2023 event helped chart a future for impactful residency opportunities, with a focus on optimism and practical working solutions for issues facing the sector. Taking place in London with live-streamed sessions, we explored our post-pandemic and increasingly fragmented world. The event proposed co-creation and collaboration as positive solutions to shared obstacles faced globally by residency providers and the artists they host.
Online registration included:
- Live access to all panels from days 1 & 2
- A livestream of all sessions and performances from day 3
- Exclusive interactive webinars for online participants
Our web-only sessions featured two online conversations focusing on capturing data and maintaining an archive, as well as residency application processes and programme evaluation.
Every aspect of our conference, Mind the Gap: Designing residencies for everyone, was committed to the overarching themes of diversity, access and inclusion. The conference programme sought to dismantle hierarchies and provide fair access for all.
