Event History
The Fish Factory has been running an International Artist Residency programme since 2017.
What Makes this event different?
The Fish Factory has provided a forum for both Cornish emerging artists and international collaborators working in challenging and diverse mediums. We are looking for artists that want to engage with our lively and varied programme of contemporary, alternative and innovative visual arts, performance and events. Fish Factory Art Space inhabits a former sail loft in Penryn, Cornwall, South West England. It houses studios, a small event space/independent gallery, a vegan cafe and a small shop. The diverse offerings have one thing in common: that they flourish in the open and welcoming atmosphere the Fish Factory offers. A definite alternative to the corporate mainstream face of modern art today. We are based in Penryn, a small town next to the Penryn River and a short distance from the sea.

We will use your images in promotion of your residency with us.
We can offer you a space for 2-4 weeks (longer on negotiation) in either our main space or our new studios.
We will provide you either a desk space in our open plan co-work space or a private room in our new space. You will have access to our b/w darkroom and photography studio. We have a selection of art materials available for your use but please do bring any specialist materials.
In addition you can take advantage of our vegan cafe, small art shop and our acoustic recording studio (by arrangement).
You will have the option of holding a public event and exhibition, but this is not essential as we see this residency as more a way for you to develop a project, network and a chance to experience the Cornish art scene.
Please specify dates you would like to attend in your application.
