Applications are now open for the Compass Artist Residency Programme 2023, we invite residency proposals from artists working in any medium whose practice is based in public engagement. Selected artists will be invited to Leeds in 2023 to develop ideas in a mixture of studio time and public-facing activity.
Projects may be inspired by a global concern, local issue, particular theme, unique idea or artistic inquiry, or a particular place or community in Leeds. Proposals must hold the public at their heart and require interaction and engagement to “complete” or animate them.

Compass Festival is able to provide budgets of £4-8k per residency to include all costs, artist fees, per diems, travel, accommodation, research and artistic materials.
