MoorBees at Wray Barton – Self‑Directed Art Residency 2026 (UK)

MoorBees at Wray Barton invites international artists from all creative disciplines to work independently or in community on a 11‑acre historic estate on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. The residency is self‑directed, with flexible 2‑, 4‑, or 12‑week blocks (full summer) and a maximum of eight residents. Applicants are selected on artistic experience, project ideas, and compatibility with other residents. The program provides private bedrooms, shared or en‑suite bathrooms, a shared kitchen, and daily vegetarian meals. Residents may also participate in the Devon Open Studios Exhibition during the full summer residency. Applications are accepted year‑round with no application fee; the residency is self‑funded, with fees ranging from £1,200 for a 2‑week stay to £7,200 for the full summer block. The residency offers a unique, nature‑based environment for focused creative work.
