Leighton Artists Studios

Delve into your work

The Leighton Artists Studios are home to ten distinct studios, appealing to a variety of disciplines: writing for stage and screen, composing and songwriting, visual arts including photography, literary translation, curating, and art theory. Some spaces are suitable for collaboration among two artists, with The Painter House able to facilitate larger collectives.

Coming soon: Recruitment for the October 1 2024 - March 31, 2025 round of Leighton Studio residencies will open in Spring 2024.
