Application Notes:
Applications are accepted at any time via email. Applicants will receive receipt of
application notification and applications will be assessed within 4 weeks.
Please note that applications from undergraduate students are not accepted. MA and
PhD students may submit applications providing they can demonstrate 5 years of
professional practice independent of their studies.
Once AAP residencies are approved, the residency offer will remain open for a period of
2 years, to allow artists to find funding. Artists are responsible for attaining their own
funding. Artists should allow least 8 weeks between their AAP Application and the due
date of any funding applications they plan to submit.
Although TOEFL scores need not be submitted, artists are expected to be proficient in
speaking, reading and writing the English language as this will be crucial to the success
of their residencies.
Artists are responsible for obtaining their own health & travel insurance and visa for
entry into the United Kingdom. Artists from most countries may enter the United
Kingdom on a Tourist Visa for a maximum period of 6 months. For further information
see: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply
Letters of Recommendation should state the relation between the applicant and the
referee, who must know the applicant in a professional or academic capacity. The letter
should explain what makes the applicant suitable for the AAP Residency describing the
applicant's strengths, talents, and level of experience.
