East Bank SEEDED Residency Programme
East Bank SEEDED is a part-time, funded residency programme for east London artists and creative practitioners to explore and grow ideas relating to their socially-engaged practice. Each ‘Artist in Residence’ will partner with their chosen East Bank host organisation, with places available for 2027 at Sadler's Wells East, UCL East, V&A East and London College of Fashion, UAL.
The SEEDED Residents will be immersed into a team made up of expert practitioners, academics and facilitators at their host institution, starting in January 2027. The residency aims to offer an accessible and supportive space, fostering mutual learning, collaboration and exchange of ideas within an experimental and inspiring environment.
