Jersey Arts Centre has now hosted 51 residences since 2010 for one, two and three week periods, in various Island spaces: St. James Church, the Assembly Room at St. Helier’s Town Hall, The Old Magistrate’s Court and the Benjamin Meaker Theatre. They have all aided the promotion of creative work in dance, music, drama and multidisciplinary processes that have been an invaluable asset to the programme of Jersey Arts Centre.

Jersey Arts Centre remains committed to hosting residencies throughout the year, allowing companies and individuals the chance to create, discover, write, play, and be inspired by their surroundings.

Our residencies have allowed creatives, both from Jersey and further afield, the space to experiment with new performances and bring original and forward-thinking work to our audiences, enhancing Jersey Arts Centre’s professional programme.

All our residences culminate in public performances for all to experience.
