The Royal Standard: Polyresidency: Snarl open studio (ft. a James Worley intervention)

Snarl Studio, The Royal Standard, Cains Brewery Village, 5 Mann Street, L8 5AF

‘Snarl would like to warmly invite you to their studio at The Royal Standard, where they will be revealing the results of a 6 month graduate residency programme.

Over the course of our residency, we have been developing a work that seeks to harness the studio’s physical potential. Using resourceful materials, we’ve developed intuitive and empathetic processes that (hopefully) result in an experience that is both personal and universal.

Complimentary drinks will be provided, but feel free to bring your own supply and stick around as the evening progresses, because James Worley will be staging an informal participatory intervention of some sort (voluntary participation of course), from around 8pm onwards. This will be reminiscent of Night School for any past LJMU students who got involved, and for those of you know don’t know, it’s basically a chance to do something out of the ordinary with new and familiar faces.

Hope to see you there, but if you can’t make it on the night and would like to see the work before it’s gone forever, let us know and we’ll keep it open on the 26th/27th for appointments.

More than just space, TRS is a community that makes a career as an artist in Liverpool a viable and accessible option through access to a support network and development opportunities through our local and national networks.

We aim to support outstanding emerging and mid-career artists by providing the highest quality, affordable studio spaces within a supportive community. Our programme includes public exhibitions, residencies, exchanges, critiques, research, events, training and community activities. We currently support over 40 artists through our studio membership and residency scheme. Our mission is to support artists to create sustainable and viable careers in the North West.

Founded in 2006 in a small pub in Dingle, The Royal Standard originally emerged from the need for a middle ground in Liverpool — somewhere in between smaller DIY grassroots arts incentives and larger institutions. In 2008, The Royal Standard undertook an ambitious relocation and expansion into a larger industrial space on the Northern periphery of the City Centre to a site on Vauxhall Road, relaunching to acclaim for the Liverpool Biennial 2008, which coincided with the city’s year as European Capital of Culture. Read more about our history.

Since then, we have thrived on account of the hard work of our team and local artists, and are now situated in our third, most ambitious location in the Baltic Triangle. Over the years, we have delivered a multitude of exhibitions and events spanning 322 days open to the public, working with 429 different artists and creatives, and welcoming over 10,000 audience members through our doors.
