The Toru Namekawa residency was established in 2016 in memory of Toru Namekawa and to help local, Leicester based, emerging artists and makers gain time in the studio while working towards a solo show in our project space.
Local residencies come with a free studio for at least 3 months, a cash stipend of around £700 and a funded solo show. studionAme has now expanded the local residency to link with other international organisations and offer at least one international residency exchange each year - this is the Toru Namekawa International Residency and it forms part of the Microresidencies Network.
