Tafaria offers two main routes into an art residency: applying to a sponsored call when one is open, or making a direct enquiry about a self-funded residency. Residency enquiries can be sent to thearts@tafaria.com.

Applying to a sponsored call

Read the theme, objectives and eligibility requirements carefully, then explain how your practice and proposed direction connect with the opportunity. A strong application makes clear what you want to explore during the residency and why Tafaria is a useful setting for that work.

Enquiring about a self-funded residency

Share your discipline, preferred dates, intended length of stay and the kind of studio or working environment you need. This route can suit artists who want dedicated time to develop work outside a formal sponsored call.

Before confirming a place

Clarify accommodation, meals, studio access, equipment, public engagement and any expected outputs. If the work needs specialised equipment, accessibility support or installation space outside the studios, discuss those requirements before travel.
