Prospect Cottage Artist Residencies 2026-27

About the Open Call

Creative Folkestone is offering four paid two-week residencies per year at Derek Jarman's home and garden in Dungeness. These residencies provide time and space for creative practitioners to reflect, think, and develop work in a unique, remote, and historic setting. The programme focuses on the present and future rather than past achievements. Residents are not required to produce a formal outcome but are asked to provide a brief reflection for the archive. The residencies are not open to students, and applicants should be prepared for the cottage's specific accessibility constraints and exposed, challenging environment.

What is Offered

Four paid two-week residencies per year, with residents receiving £500 per week after their stay.

Requirements

The residencies are not open to students. Applicants must be creative practitioners who can work in a remote, self-sufficient, and physically constrained environment. Requires application form and equal opportunities form.

How to Apply

Please send your completed application form and equal opportunities form to prospectcottage@creativefolkestone.org.uk, or post/deliver by hand to Quarterhouse, Mill Bay, Folkestone, Kent, CT20 1BN.
