Call for Applications: Moray School of Art Micro Residency 2026
We have partnered with the Society of Scottish Artists to offer a two-week micro residency at Moray School of Art.
The selected artist will be given a dedicated studio space and access to Moray School of Art’s specialist facilities, including:
- Screen printing, etching, and relief printmaking
- Woodwork and casting workshops
