About our Artists in Residence Programme
We are looking for 4 artists across a range of genres who are among the most exciting artists in the North East of England. The artists must be at an important point in their career where this project will open up new possibilities and move their work forward. We are interested in project ideas that focus on climate change or use digital technology but we are also open to other ideas.
The programme runs from September to June. You will lead the project with support from our team, you can decide what to do with the time and money available to create the final performance or digital project.
Meet Sage Gateshead's Artists in Residence 2022-23
Sage Gateshead’s 2022-23 Artists in Residence start in September 2022; Anna Hughes, Ceitidh Mac, Kerrin Tatman and Late Girl. They will work on ambitious projects that will culminate in new recordings and productions in 2023.
The artists were chosen from an impressive range of applicants from across the region who answered a call out looking for four of the most exciting artists in the North East. As residents at Sage Gateshead for 10 months, each of the selected artists are at a pivotal moment in their career, with the venue supporting them to develop an ambitious creative project that will take them in a new direction.
As an Artist in Residence, they have access to funding, investment in a creative project of their choosing, a residential retreat, rehearsal space, one to one advice and support, and a concert at Sage Gateshead at the end of the residency.
