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.
The selected artist will receive free studio space at St Mary’s Lodge located within Greenwich Park as well as a fee of £22,000. The residency has been designed to support an artist to develop their socially engaged practice through creative community engagement.
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.
The residency will suit an early to mid-career artist with a socially engaged practice, an understanding of and sensitivity to the barriers faced by the park’s underserved communities, and an understanding of the social and cultural value of urban green spaces.
We are welcoming expressions of interest through a six-week open call, launching on Tuesday 23 September 2025 and closing at midnight on Sunday 2 November 2025.

Answers to all questions will be shared on this page during the course of the open call process.
