In partnership with Shanghai-based, artist-run gallery UИTITLEDSPΛCE, a new artist in residency opportunity is open to all Saudi citizens whose primary medium is photography. The Residency will take place in the Fall of 2021, as four mid-career contemporary photographers from the country will be provided with a full residency program in Shanghai, China.

The UИTITLEDSPΛCE building itself covers an area of 600 square meters, a total of 4 floors. The ground floor contains 6 private studios within sharing studio space (total of 220 square meters) and 3 storage rooms. Each resident artist has their own working space. There is a wide variety of tools/equipment available for resident artists such as easel, tripod, lighting gear, projector, monitor, speakers, electric kiln, etc.

UИTITLEDSPΛCE offers to curate exhibitions for resident artists at the end of each residency program. Exhibitions are a chance for resident artists to summarize their projects and experience during the residency. Resident artists will exhibit their works at the UИTITLEDSPΛCE Gallery according to the exhibition schedule (Normally the exhibition takes place on the last weekend of the month).
