The Old Jet Airspace Programme in London

The Airspace residency programme seeks to engage, enable and support two new visual artists with targeted professional development and creative time out at a fledgling stage of their careers.

Applications will be judged by a panel of artist Sarah Lucas; Barbican Curator, Lotte Johnson; and Founder Director of Raven Row, London, Alex Sainsbury.

Selected artists will be offered a six‐month residency with freedom, flexibility and zero fixed outcomes. Resident artists will receive studio space, a bespoke programme of critical engagement, mentoring, studio visits and more!
