With support from Arts Council England, this Black-led programme is an exciting opportunity for creatives of the Global Majority within the Northern regions, to be in residence within nature for one year. This includes those from African, Asian, Caribbean, indigenous, and dual-heritage backgrounds. Artists from all disciplines are invited to submit an application to undertake a paid freelance residency.

The Black Nature in Residence Programme 2:0 will consist of five writing/ creative residences in each of the parks; Northumberland, North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales, Peak District and the Lake District National Parks.

Each residencies will be self-designed allowing creatives to build closers links between themselves, the National Park and the diverse communities they serve. We welcome creatives who are inspiring and inspired by the landscapes and seascapes of the North and would appreciate the time and space to respond authentically to the protected nature of these National Parks.

See information here about the first round of the programme.

The call out for creatives has now gone live on the project website https://blacknatureinresidence.com
