Self-Directed Residencies 2026-27
Closing date 1 February 2026
Bothy Project are delighted to share their latest open call for Self-Directed Residencies taking place throughout May 2026 – March 2027 at Sweeney’s Bothy, Isle of Eigg, and Grinneabhat, Isle of Lewis.
Bothy Project Self-Directed Residencies last one week (seven nights) and are a self-funded route for practitioners in visual art, craft & design, music, literature and performance. Applications are welcome from individual practitioners who are able to demonstrate at least three years of active practice, and are based in the UK or Europe.
Our Self-Directed Residencies support interesting, ambitious and challenging practices, and provide space and time for practitioners to focus without distraction in a unique landscape and off-grid space.
This year we’re excited to be able to offer Self-Directed Residencies at both Sweeney’s Bothy, Isle of Eigg, and at Grinneabhat, Isle of Lewis. The residencies will take place throughout May 2026 – March 2027.
Self-Directed Residencies are offered at a subsidised rate and are paid for by the selected resident. The subsidised cost for a one week Self-Directed Residency is £550.
Application deadline: Sunday 1 February 2026, midnight
