UP Projects is partnering with the Royal Parks to offer a new, 6-month residency opportunity for an artist to be based at Greenwich Park, starting in January 2026.
We are delighted to announce Leah Clements as Greenwich Park’s first-ever Artist in Residence.
Developed as part of UP Projects’ Constellations learning and development programme and forming part of the legacy of the Greenwich Park Revealed project, this Constellations ° Residency aims to foster meaningful connections between the park and its visitors through artistic exploration and collaboration.
Leah will receive free studio space at St Mary’s Lodge located within Greenwich Park as well as a fee and access to mentoring opportunities. The residency has been designed to support an artist to develop their socially engaged practice through creative community engagement.
Leah is an artist from London whose practice spans film, photography, performance, writing, installation, and other media to explore moments of transcendence. Her practice also focuses on sickness/cripness/disability in art, and how real and imaginary realms can operate as radical spaces to address collective experiences.
Beginning January 2026, Leah will work with communities who are currently underrepresented in the park, with a focus on access, inclusion, and lived experience.
The residency will culminate in new creative work shared with park visitors in summer 2026.
