We are inviting applications from artists with a collaborative/participative approach to undertake a 6-month residency in Pontypool.

Taking place from August 2012 to January 2013, the residency will act as a pilot project for the Arts Council of Wales’ Residency Programme and will be an integral part of an Arts and Humanities Research Council Networking Grant funded research project called In-between: Cultural Regeneration in Market Towns, being led by Intersections (a research unit based at Newcastle University), which is examining how participative public arts can reinvigorate the communities, identities and economies of market towns.

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho
