Hi,

We hope you don't mind us getting in touch. We recently sent a message via Instagram, but we're aware that social media messages can sometimes be missed, so we wanted to follow up by email.

In case you're unaware, we're AA2A (Artists Access to Art Colleges), an Arts Council England-funded artist residency scheme that gives practising artists from all backgrounds access to specialist facilities, workshops and equipment at universities and colleges across England.

We thought this year's opportunities might be relevant to your community as two of our hosts are based in Chester/Liverpool: University of Chester & Liverpool John Moores University. Together, they're offering around 8 artist residencies across a wide range of disciplines.

We've attached a graphic, which you're very welcome to share if you think it would be of interest. Full details can also be found on our website:

https://aa2a.org/application-info-2026/

Please let us know if you have any questions.

If these opportunities aren't relevant to your organisation, please let us know, and we'll make sure we don't contact you about them in the future.

Thanks very much for taking the time to have a look.

Best wishes,

Andy
