The Little Sparta Residency Programme is a new series of funded residencies for visual and performing artists, sound artists, poets and writers based in Scotland. The residencies enable artists to engage with Little Sparta and the ideas that informed and were generated by it. The artists have supported access to the garden, Ian Hamilton Finlay’s personal library and collections of his work held at the National Galleries of Scotland and the Scottish Poetry Library. The programme offers a unique opportunity for artists to be based at and produce work within an exceptional and inspiring environment.
