Artist Fellowship Programme

Body Remedy's Artist Fellowship (BRAF) is a one-year programme working with outstanding artists who are rooted in the intentions of their practice and a commitment to shaping their creative direction.

The fellowship resources what is necessary for artists to work both creatively and strategically, threading each practice in conversation with the artist's reflective past, embodied present and desired future. 

Our purpose behind this fellowship is responsive to a sector where artist development is often compressed into short cycles and measured against determined outcomes, which asks artists to perform an ‘evidence of progress’ rather than enrich their practices. We know that relational structures of consistent producing and unhurried resourcing nourish the conditions for a supported artistic practice. 

This programme is delivered in partnership with David Dale Gallery, National Theatre of Scotland and Imaginate.

BRAF 2025/26 fellows are: Sequoia Danielle Barnes, Frankie Mulholland and Plantainchipps.

How the fellowship works:

• The programme evolved from our former Associate Artist Programme, which piloted the frameworks of  artist-centred practices and relational structure

• Fellows are nominated or invited from within our ecology of creative practitioners and past participants, in recognition of their essential creative labour

• The fellowship is designed around each artist's own priorities, and support plans are co-developed between the artist, producer and Body Remedy’s wider team

• Fellows shape how Body Remedy is situated within their process

• Outcome requirements are minimal and optional, and the final sharing arrives as a marker within an ongoing practice rather than a finished product

Each fellow receives:

• An artist grant

• Dedicated producer support of ~5 hours each month

• Mentorship & Research Conversation grant

• Material fee

• A residency
