Stoke-on-Trent
Since 2022

ACAVA Hosts: Three Counties Open Residency is a career development opportunity for emerging artists with a connection to Staffordshire, Chesire or Shropshire to be based at our studio community in Stoke-on-Trent.
The residencies offer the use of a studio and professional development opportunities within a thriving community of established artists and creatives at ACAVA Spode Works Studios.
ACAVA Hosts: Three Counties Open Residency is a project run in partnership with Keele University and Three Counties Open Art Exhibition.
