Since its inception, the National Sculpture Factory’s primary objective has been to support the talents of artists, at all stages of their careers; to aid artists explore and develop their practices of art-making through all their forms of expression and production.
To this end, we have developed a very successful core programmatic strategy which creates the time and space for young artists to professionalise their practice straight out of college in a supportive and productive environment.
Residency awards include free studio rental for 3 months with a material stipends; technical and administrative support; curatorial and peer support; mentorship and free access to a number of our educational & technical workshops/lectures.
