Gasworks residency open call for artists based in West Africa

7 April – 23 June 2026 Application Deadline: 29 September 2025, 1pm (UK time)
Gasworks welcomes residency applications from artists based in West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Saint Helena, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo) who have already presented their work in several venues. The eleven-week, fully funded residency will take place at Gasworks in London from 7 April – 23 June 2026.
Our residencies programme supports professional development, cultural exchange, and artistic experimentation. We host up to twenty residencies each year, bringing artists from all over the world to London. All our residencies are self-led, non-prescriptive and process-based; they are about enabling artists to research and develop new work, engage with the city, and build their networks.
We provide administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support throughout the residency, but we expect residents to be self-motivated and to lead on the research and production of their own work during their time with us.
This residency is supported by Mercedes Vilardell.
For more information and to apply, visit Gasworks.
