Artist in Residency

We understand that every club is full of stories, memories and diverse people. A club might shape a community or vice versa. Culture Liverpool and England Boxing are looking for one club to host an artist or artists who can tell these stories.

This artist could specialise in any creative discipline (such as dance, filmmaking, music, visual art), and they will work closely to capture the past, present, and future of the club.

The artist will spend 6 weeks at the chosen club to capture content to create a piece of art. The chosen club must be in Liverpool.

Apply for the Artist in Residency by completing the nomination form here.

Deadline for both awards:

Nominations open Monday 13 June 2025

Nominations close midnight, Sunday 6 July 2025
