Tracey Emin Artist Residency

What is TEAR?

 The Tracey Emin Artist Residency (TEAR) is a free, studio-based art school programme that encourages the development of studio practice alongside a community of professional artists at TKE Studios.  ​

Initially, with set projects devised by Tracey Emin, Director Elissa Cray and a host of guest artists, you will explore, develop and question artistic practices. ​

Visits from key figures such as gallery directors, curators, artists, accountants, framers, collectors, and art historians will shape how you develop your studio work over the following year with ongoing mentorship from Tracey and opportunities to exhibit to far-reaching audiences.

Margate Film Festival artist commission

Margate Film Festival is a project born out of the turbulence of changing cultural landscapes and a love for the chaos of creativity – a journey through the wilderness of the cinema.

The festival connects local communities and artists with national and international initiatives to create a DIY, collaborative film & visual arts celebration. This year it will expand to include artists moving image, audio-visual installations and a programme of talks, overlapping with the Turner Prize.

The 2019 festival explores the theme of ‘Against The Tide’, collating stories of political and personal change; exploring migration, transformation and evolution of landscapes, and that of both individual and communal heritage and identities.
