The Trust is pleased to offer the Caselberg Trust Creative Connections Residency for the fourteenth time in 2027.
Creative Connections is a Residency that reflects the core ethos of the Trust and aims –
To support and encourage innovative and exciting collaborations between creative media, and to foster the building of dynamic and unexpected relationships between the Resident and communities relevant to the Resident’s identified creative project.
To encourage and support people who are making, or have the potential to make, a significant contribution to the arts, either on a national or international level
To provide the opportunity to introduce new ideas, motifs, and materials into the Resident’s work.
For the Creative Connections Residency the Caselberg Trust is specifically looking for projects that reach out and make links across a variety of creative media, professional disciplines, and/or communities relevant to the planned project. We welcome applications from people from any background i.e. arts or non-arts. However, applicants must be able to demonstrate their ability to engage in a creative project and processes, and to collaborate effectively with creative media and with communities relevant to their identified project.
