Event History
The Fish Factory moved into it's new premises in Penryn earlier this year after 6 years in Falmouth. 2018 sees the start of our International Residency programme, offering a chance for artists from all over the world to discover what makes Cornwall, and The Fish Factory special. The Factory houses resident artists, open plan desk spaces, a gallery, print studios, photographic studio, darkroom and an onsite cafe and shop.
The Fish Factory Art Space CIC is offering a rolling programme of 2-4 week residencies at it's new venue in Penryn, Cornwall. Opened in 2011 by local artist Rose Hatcher, the Fish Factory has provided a forum for both Cornish emerging artists and international collaborators working in challenging and diverse mediums from interactive installations, to murals, to photomontage, printmaking, music and film. 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.
We will provide you with a desk space in our open plan co-work space, as well access to our shared print making, b/w darkroom and photography studio. 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.
Residency costs: £200-£350 (2-4wks). You will be required to pay a 50% non-refundable deposit on acceptance of your place.
We can provide a range of accommodation for the duration of your stay from £150- £350, please ask us for more information on these options.
Please specify dates you would like to attend in your application.
