Resident Creatives

We have decades of experience working with visiting artists in The Arts and we also embrace other creatives from across industries and interest groups.


Stronger Together Through Creative Connections

The Resident and Visiting Creatives Program welcomes old scholars and others across professional, industry and interest groups to share their knowledge, skills and innovative ideas. Allowing students to push their boundaries and explore potential in both traditional disciplines and new technologies, the program ensures a dynamic learning community, both within and beyond the school gates.

We are deeply committed to advancing school – professional – community engagement. The Resident and Visiting Creatives Program encompasses all elements of this including partnerships, residencies, workshops, short-term projects, one-off activities, events, online videos and mentoring. We invite universities, industries and interest groups to partner with us in creating organised learning experiences aligned with our curriculum, School Aims and Pembroke’s bespoke Future Pathways career education program.

  1. Resident Creatives: Individuals who have skills and know-how and are keen to take up a residency at Pembroke to enhance the learning of our students in ways that are aligned in some way with our curriculum and also connected to our School Aims and Future Pathways career education program.
    We prioritise interdisciplinary learning in the STEAM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
    Residencies can be short or long term, from days to weeks, and up to six months. As an example, a resident could attend for two days per week during a term.
  2. Visiting Creatives: Individuals who are keen to creatively contribute to some form of organised learning that aligns with the School. This could be a one-off event on a single day or a short series of visits across a fortnight, month or term.
  3. Speakers Series: We are in the planning phase of this exciting initiative. This expansive multidisciplinary series of speeches will be hosted by Pembroke either in the Shipsters Road Building on King’s Campus or DY Hall on Girton Campus.
  4. Careers Connection: Primarily but not exclusively offered to old scholars as part of our Future Pathways career education program. We intend to develop a sequence of events inclusive of the annual Careers Breakfast, industry Twilight Talks about career pathways and targeted work site visits by students.
