Residencies

We are pleased to announce the Connecting Threads 2025 residency programme, offering up to six paid and supported residency opportunities for creative practitioners who are based in the River Tweed catchment area.

Project ideas

Our approach to programming is both proactive and responsive. We are keen to work in partnership with organisations and individuals who share our enthusiasm for the River Tweed. Our team of River Culture Animateurs hold quarterly planning meetings to discuss the proposals we receive and how we might best be able to respond. If you have ideas that you would like to discuss with us, we encourage you to get in touch. The more notice you can give us the better. Please visit our Contact page to contact the appropriate person.
