What do we mean by Cultural Leadership? How do artists/architects lead the way? And what can leaders do to support creativity and the arts? I’m off to the Middle East to explore these ideas and to raise awareness of our @royalacademy @MaastrichtU Masters in Cultural Leadership.

We are once again seeking artists and creatives to undertake residencies at Prospect Cottage...

We are looking for people who will respond to the solitude of Prospect Cottage and be inspired by the life and work of Derek Jarman and the Dungeness landscape.

This round of residencies will cover the period from January 2024 – March 2025. Residents will be selected by the Prospect Cottage Residency Advisory Panel.

Deadline for applications: 9am on Monday 25 September 2023
