TOAST & Crafts Council
Artist in Residence

TOAST is a unique lifestyle brand, creating and curating simple, functional, beautiful clothing, homeware and editorial. We are known for our thoughtful, contemporary design and commitment to traditional textiles and craftsmanship. We believe strongly in nurturing relationships with artists, painters, weavers, ceramicists and creatives all around the world.

The annual TOAST Creative Residency aims to connect and inspire creative individuals and foster thought over a three-day programme of talks, workshops and live demonstrations. This year, we have partnered with Crafts Council, the national charity for craft, to invite an artist in residence to showcase their work in our upcoming TOAST Virtual Creative Residency.

The chosen artist will be required to create an artwork inspired by Flux and Flow, the inspiration behind our Autumn Winter collection. Following the words of the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, Flux and Flow celebrates continual growth and evolution, and how we all have the capacity for great change and innovation.

The finished work will be presented at the TOAST Virtual Creative Residency taking place on 15th – 17th October, and later donated to the Crafts Council collection. The project will be featured in the TOAST online Magazine and in Crafts Magazine, and there will be a £1000 contribution to support the creation of the artwork.

If you are an emerging artist or creative and would like to apply, please submit your application before midday BST, 4th September 2020. The winner will be selected by a Crafts Council and TOAST panel. Please note that this call out is open to all artists, wherever you may be in the world. Read the full terms and conditions.
