OPEN CALL FOR KLPA ARTISTS’ RESIDENCIES: BOLD IN ALL WEATHERS

Adapted from Sue Hellard’s poster for the KLPA’s exhibition A Celebration of Swimmers’ Art in 2015 at Kenwood House

In 2026 the KLPA will celebrate 100 years of women and girls swimming at the Ladies’ Pond.

We are marking this centenary by inviting applications from artists from a variety of creative practices, including writers, poets, musicians, singers, songwriters, spoken word and sound artists, for up to ten artist residencies that will allow them to respond to the Ladies’ Pond in any way they choose.

The deadline to apply for the KLPA Artists’ Residencies is 31 August 2025.
