Artist Residency
Closing date 31 March 2025
Out of the Blueprint is now accepting applications from Scotland-based young artists for our next artist residencies.
Out of the Blueprint recognises the positive value of diversity, and wishes to amplify the voices of those who are underrepresented. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, including those with no formal art education.
About the residency
Each resident artist is provided with a dedicated studio space in the Out of the Blue Drill Hall in Leith, Edinburgh, as well as access to the Blueprint studio to create and develop a body of work using the riso machines.
Our residencies emphasise exploration and an open-ended playful approach, encouraging artists to push the boundaries of their creative practice and embrace the unpredictability of the print process.
The residency will give each artist the chance to work towards an exhibition at Out of the Blue Drill Hall, presenting work-in-progress alongside finished pieces.
