Description

The Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) is a not-for-profit private members' organisation dedicated to championing international friendship and understanding. They help artists and musicians across the Commonwealth connect, collaborate and create. Their education work benefits communities and changes lives. Members enjoy a clubhouse with accommodation in St James's, London, a vibrant event calendar packed with tours, trips and talks, and links to over 100 reciprocal clubs worldwide.
About The Art House: Established in 1994 by a diverse group of artists, The Art House places equality of access and higher diversity in contemporary visual arts practice at the core of all their programmes. With more than 50 accessible artists studios, exhibition spaces, on-site accessible accommodation for creatives, a shop, a café, meeting rooms and event spaces. The Art House, artists and audiences of all kinds are invited to engage with the creative process through a year-round programme of residencies, exhibitions, events, workshops, and professional development opportunities.

ROSL works with The Art House in Wakefield to provide two residencies each year for artists who are from Commonwealth or former Commonwealth countries and have never studied or exhibited in the UK. The two-month residencies are fully funded and focus on networking and creative development with opportunities for artists to share their work with a UK audience. They offer artists time and space to develop creatively in a calm, productive and connected environment.

Outcome

As well as networking opportunities fulfilled, artists are asked to produce work for an exhibition at a UK art fair and an exhibition at The Art House in Wakefield.
