About The Commission
We are excited about this commission, as we support an artist residency hosted by our wonderful partners at RHS Wisley Gardens.
Our commissions aim to help artists foster connections with cultural partners across the county of Surrey as well as offer them a bursary and some dedicated studio time.
The 2023 commission awardee is Sandra Priseman.
You can find out more about Sandra’s creative practice, and what her plans are for her residency over at her first blog post for DAiSY.
