Artists in Residence
A 10 month artist-led programme to develop an ambitious creative project, with a showcase for the project at The Glasshouse.
Meet The Glasshouse Artists in Residence 2024-25
The Glasshouse International Centre for Music is excited to be working with three inspiring musicians as Artists In Residence in 2024-25. Frankie Archer, Natalie Sharp, and ako.
These three new artists will start work on their projects from September 2024, inspired by the possibilities of digital technology in the creation and performance of their music. Working with our partners at Newcastle University, Mediale and AMP these artists will get support and training to make turn their ideas into reality.
Frankie, Natalie and ako were chosen from an impressive range of applicants from across the region who answered an open call out looking for the most exciting artists in the North to explore what happens when music and digital creativity collide.
As an Artist in Residence, they have access to funding, investment in a creative project of their choosing, a residential retreat, rehearsal space, one to one advice and support, and a performance at The Glasshouse at the end of the residency. Support and connectivity will come from Newcastle University’s music department, and links with international arts commissioner Mediale and Advance Media Production (AMP) will ensure incredible support and training bring these artist projects to life.
Read more about them below. We’ll be sharing work, interviews and updates from each of them via our website and social channels during their residency.
