KATIE SHANNON
CHELSEA ARTS CLUB TRUST RESIDENCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Summer 2025

Chelsea Arts Club Trust award recipient Katie Shannon will be in residence at Flat Time House this summer. This is the first-ever residency at Flat Time House for a Chelsea Arts Club Trust awardee, an opportunity for a recent graduate artist to engage with Flat Time House as a space for dialogue and experimentation. 

Katie Shannon is an artist based between Glasgow and London, working across drawing, installation, printmaking, textiles, writing, performance, curation, music and collaborative formats. Her practice centres on the event as medium, exploring temporalities, collective intimacy, and states of energetic unrest. Rooted in a socialist, feminist, and materially led approach, her work navigates themes of class, sociality, and counter-culture, using repurposed or ‘low’ materials, laborious processes, and printmaking as means of dissemination to propose alternative economies of making and meaning.

Founded by members of Chelsea Arts Club, Chelsea Arts Club Trust was set up in 1990 to encourage art and design education and provide help and support for artists and designers. The Trust has established a range of bursaries and awards for practicing artists and designers, as well as emerging art and design graduates. The aim is to recognise and enable talent, create opportunities, support research, and set artists on the path to long term professional careers.
