CONSTANT RELAY RESIDENCY 2026

​

Constant Relay moves to January and registrations are now FULL!

​

Constant Relay is a first-in-first-served, no application, short-form residency and exchange opportunity at ReadyMade Works. Artists receive time in the studio bookended by encounters with fellow artists in residence.

Throughout January, artists will be offered 3.5-hour sessions in the studio including 30-minutes of allocated time to cross-over with the following artist in residence. This cross-over is an informal opportunity to connect with other practitioners, share something about what you are working on, or exchange ideas.

The residencies will run Monday - Friday from January 19th - February 6th. Each day is divided into three different studio sessions 9-12:30pm, 12-3:30pm and 3-6:30pm. Artists are encouraged to do at least 2 sessions over the course of the residency. Constant Relay will culminate in a closed sharing on Friday 6th February 4-6pm hosted by ReadyMade Works Director Jane McKernan. All involved artists are invited to come together and share their processes and exchanges with one-another.
