Get matched →The Artist Book Online Residency (TABOR) is a year-long online residency for book artists, offering a sustained peer network, social connection, professional development, and a shared project culminating in an online joint group exhibition and public programme.
The final group exhibition will take place in an online gallery, and residents will contribute to public-facing events such as artist talks, panel discussions, and exhibition tours. Local physical exhibitions will also be organized, and residents will be encouraged and supported in offering similar in their communities.
Applications are welcomed from book artists at all career stages, aiming to bring together emerging, mid-career, and established practitioners working across a wide range of approaches to book art. We are looking for artists eager to develop and experiment, who consider book arts part of their professional practice, and are happy to share knowledge and skills. Applicants should have created a minimum of two pieces of book art.

The selection aims for a cohort diverse in professional background and lived experience. One of the eight residencies is earmarked for a book artist with a background in craft bookbinding (sponsored by the Society of Bookbinders), and one for a neurodivergent young adult comes with additional support and mentoring.
