Bankside Hotel x Contemporary Collective are thrilled to welcome British Contemporary Artist Lucy Stevens to the Art Yard Gallery as their next Artist in Residence. During the course of her residency, Lucy will create a new collection of 2D mixed media artworks to explore the birdlife along the River Thames and Tower Bridge including local and invasive species.

The residency will present a rare opportunity for Lucy to focus on an area in London where birdlife is under threat when it should be flourishing by the river and surrounding areas. With this concept in mind, will develop relationships with local members and volunteers of birding societies in London and the London Wildlife Trust. In addition, Lucy will have discussions in advance and during her time in London to discover the best places to go bird watching and also share observational and conservation data that can be incorporated into her artwork.
