Bringing artists to QUAD

Each year QUAD and FORMAT produce a number of residencies and fellowships, aimed at local and international artists.

These include the annual QUAD International Digital Fellowships; QUAD Digital Participation Residency, partnerships and exchanges with a range of organisations in China, and most recently virtual residencies that support graduating BA and MA students from the University of Derby. Many of these projects result in exhibitions, commissions and mentoring and support for artist and curators.
