Organizer Information:
Cluster was founded in 2016 with a clear goal: redefine the contemporary art fair by cutting out the middlemen. Cluster seeks out raw, unfiltered creativity from artists directly. From the start, Cluster positioned itself as London’s most accessible and affordable art fair—an unapologetic platform for artists to showcase their work on their own terms. Since then, Cluster has evolved into a vibrant celebration of diversity—of materials, methods, styles, themes, and, most importantly, of people. It is a space where ethnicity, background, age, and class dissolve into one common purpose: the need to create and express.
Cluster is more than an art fair. It’s a collaborative movement—a shared space, a creative refuge, and a continuous exercise in community-building. Each event becomes a meeting ground for like-minded individuals to connect, collaborate, and share their journeys—of struggle, of breakthrough, and of artistic growth.
Description:
A fully funded, four-week residency in East London designed to support emerging talent with personalized mentorship from leading industry experts. Artists receive a private studio, accommodation, production assistance, and full coverage of materials, meals, and transport. The residency concludes with a solo exhibition and participation in the Cluster fair, offering valuable exposure and direct connections to influential voices in the photography world.
Set in one of the world’s most vibrant art scenes, this opportunity provides the time, space, and resources to develop a project or exhibition in a setting primed for artistic growth and visibility.
Key Dates:
Submission deadline is July 30th, the residency will take place around March 2026.
Location:
