PADA Studios Research Residency 2026

Our Research Residency is designed to appeal to those who want to spend time with the community at PADA but don’t need a studio space. Candidates are welcome to apply for periods of 1 or 2 months. The provisional residency periods are as following:

+ 1: 7th April - 2nd June (coinciding with PADA 57)
+ 2: 7th April - 4th May (first month of PADA 57)
+ 3: 6th May - 2nd June (second month of PADA 57)
+ 4: 9th June - 6th July (first month of PADA 58)
+ 5: 4th November - 30th November (second month of PADA 60)

There will be a preference for applications that fully align with the International Residency (i.e. we may prioritise an applicant that chooses April - June rather those that choose April or May alone).
