The Artists in Residence programme gives up to 12 Primary and SEND schools, in select boroughs of London, the opportunity to work towards a selected school improvement goal using the arts.
In the Summer Term of 2025, schools will unlock the joy of learning and develop key academic and personal skills for their pupils. The project supports teachers with creative approaches to the curriculum. Through meaningful partnerships with Eastside’s Artists, we will provide participating schools with opportunities to embed the arts in the heart of school life.

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what participating teachers and artists have to say about Artists in Residence.
“It gave the children a voice and a platform to express themselves in a positive way.”
Teacher
“Working with Eastside has been really great. Everything has been really easy to get in place, it’s been so well organised that it maximised the time we had with the artist. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Teacher
"One of the most memorable moments was when I got the students to share some of their words they wrote using similes... and some of the sentences we heard blew both the teachers and me away. I truly felt inspired by the students.”
