Application writing can be stressful at best, so how do you ensure you’re putting your best foot forward?
Our team decided to put together a handy list with some helpful tips and reminders for artists and creatives. This list may also come in handy for opportunities at The Mill, make sure to subscribe to our mailing list to be the first to know of upcoming opportunities!
Application checklist:
Spend time addressing and responding to each of the application criteria
Describe what your work will be and what it will look like
Use high quality images
Use your strongest images for examples of work
Demonstrate your artistic ability
Include any collaborators and mentors, it shows ambition!

Provide a concise conceptualisation, why are you doing this?
Make sure your ideas are achievable in the residency timeframe
