Applications are now open for our 2026-2027 Residents programme. We are looking for Lewisham-based, as well as Goldsmiths’ student and alumni groups, to become part of our Residents Programme, which was developed to broaden the voices of the CCA. Up to 2 community groups, collectives, and initiatives will be invited to join our Residents Programme.
Open Until: 19/07/2026
Posted: 02/07/2026
We are looking to support a range of different groups, from newly established collectives to those that have been active for longer periods of time. Is your collective looking to host regular film screenings or creative workshops, or invite artists to give talks and lectures? Maybe you’re a community-based initiative with a project idea that helps to strengthen links and foster spaces of bonding within the community. Are you a performance-based group that may be looking to use the space for rehearsals and performances? Or are you a group that are concerned with global or personal issues, such as mental health and wellbeing, LGBTQI+ practices, Anti-Racist ways of working or ecological approaches, and accessibility and disability. Maybe you’d like to start a club for yoga, meditation, reading or textiles work?
Our chosen applicants will be able to organise and carry out their project in the John Garcia Family Foundation Gallery, and will receive production support, alongside a budget of £1,500. The CCA requires an outline budget, but the funds can be used for visiting speakers, commissioning artists, creative materials, hosting educational resources.
To be eligible, you must be living or working within the borough of Lewisham, currently studying at Goldsmiths, or have graduated from Goldsmiths within the last two years.
To apply and for more information, please download our Application and Guidance Document. A dyslexia-friendly version is available here.
The deadline for applications is midnight on Sunday 19th July.
If you have any questions please contact our Engagement Producer, Adrianna Whittingham, a.whittingham@gold.ac.uk
