Hosting up to five artists at a time, a programme of staggered 6~month residencies grafted each new participant into an existing and evolving creative community. Each ‘artist~in~continuum’ received free studio space and was supported to develop their work through regular crits ~ a safe space to share and receive feedback ~ culminating in a solo~show in the Husk Gallery.

Continuum ~ Public Programmes

During their residency, artists were supported to co~produce projects engaging the wider community, including workshops, performances and collaborative artworks.

Alongside Artist~in~Continuum, I curated the exhibition programme for The Walls, Husk’s community gallery, and co~ordinated Husk Creative Nights, a series of free events and workshops led by local artists for local people.
