COVID-19 Update
With COVID-19 restrictions easing, we are promoting opportunities as and when they are arranged, whilst still working closely with host institutions as well as following advice from the UK government, national health authorities and the World Health Organisation.The Art for the Environment Residency Programme (AER) provides UAL graduates with the opportunity to apply for a 2 to 4 week fully funded residency at one of our internationally renowned host institutions, to explore concerns that define the 21st century – biodiversity, environmental sustainability, social economy and human rights.
Founded in 2015, internationally acclaimed artist Professor Lucy Orta, UAL Chair of Art for the Environment – Centre for Sustainable Fashion, launched the programme in partnership with international residency programmes and UAL Post-Grad Community.
Current residencies are available via the SlideRoom application porthole and shared via Post-Grad stories.
