KE'KU:N RESIDENCIES
Funded by Aberdeen City Council
In spring 2019 we provided 4 artists the opportunity of a week-long paid artist development residency hosted by Ke'ku:n Studio.
Each residency included a free workshop for the community and final weekend exhibition.
The project focused on installation and professional skills development, providing much needed versitile studio/display space, public engagement and highlighting art and artists in the area.
