Creative Practitioner in Residence 2026

About the Open Call

The Creative Practitioner Residency is a six-month research-led opportunity for an artist, creative practitioner, or collective to respond to the Atlantic Worlds gallery located in the National Maritime Museum. We welcome proposals that engage creatively and critically with the gallery, whether by drawing connections across different themes and collections or by exploring a particular object, material, archive, or idea in depth. We especially encourage participatory methods of research and making that engage with underrepresented audiences.

What is Offered

Six-month residency program from September 2026 to February 2027.
