Main Gallery
Winter Studio Residency
- 10 January - 18 February 2024
ABOUT
This winter the Main Gallery at Phoenix Art Space will be used for a residency programme, offering five artists the opportunity to use the space for the research and development of new work. It will provide artists with the time and space to experiment with new concepts and materials, and encourage the exchange of ideas between one another. Work in progress will be displayed during an Open Day at which audiences have an opportunity to meet the artists and discuss their work.
Open Day: Friday 16 February, 11.00 – 17.00
Please note: The Main Gallery will be closed to visitors outside of the Open Day.
ARTISTS

Liz Schwarz & Shirley Archibald
During their residency, artists Liz and Shirley will devote their time to investigating the crossovers in their practices. Exploring painting, installation, assemblage, conversation and performance, their collective methods of working involve foraging for ingredients in the form of household items and street objects and playing with these materials.
