About the residency
Market Gallery is an artist-led initiative based in Glasgow, Scotland, with a history of supporting experimental and critical contemporary art practices. Founded in 2010, the gallery operates as a platform for emerging and underrepresented voices, often focusing on process-driven, research-based, and collaborative approaches. Its Reader Residency, for example, invites artists to engage with critical texts and develop new work in dialogue with the gallery's community. The organization maintains a flexible, responsive ethos, prioritizing artistic inquiry over commercial or conventional exhibition formats.

Applicants should demonstrate a clear engagement with the residency's thematic focus, often centered on reading, writing, and critical dialogue. Proposals that are conceptually rigorous, experimental, and feasible within the gallery's modest resources are favored. It is advisable to review past projects on the website to understand the expected level of criticality and self-directedness. Market Gallery values proposals that articulate how the residency will contribute to the artist's practice and the gallery's community, rather than polished final outcomes.
