Micro Residency at New Media Gallery - Learning Lab
Applications for the micro residency are now closed for 2020. We will be contacting the short listed candidates shortly. Thank You for all of your wonderful proposals.
New Media Gallery Learning Lab is a creative studio space run by the gallery. We offer arts + technology programming with access to a range of technologies. Moving into September we are sensitive to a continued need for social distancing.
