Wysing was established in 1989 and completed a £1.7million capital development project in 2008. The centre has ten buildings including studios, live-work space, a large gallery, educational facilities, a 17th century farmhouse used as accommodation for residencies and retreats.

Wysing aims to provide alternative environments and structures for artistic research, experimentation, discovery and production.

In 2010 Wysing was invited to join Plus Tate; one of only two of the twenty organisations in the network whose work is focused on process and production rather than on the presentation of extant works. 

Residencies
Wysing offers international residencies that support artists to make new work, explore new ways of working and make new collaborations.  Residencies have emerged from ongoing artistic enquiry focusing on Wysing’s position at the geographic margins of two major cities, Cambridge and London, and its origins as a space for artistic experimentation and innovation.

Retreats
To support artists to develop strong networks and think about developments in art practice, Wysing delivers a series of themed artistic retreats. In additon Wysing leads the Syllabus alternative learning programme in partnerhsip with Eastside Projects, INIVA, S1 Artspace, Spike Island and Studio Voltaire.

Learning
Wysing works with artists at every stage in their careers, We regularly run events for families and young people, and are able to offer workshops to range of community groups and schools that link closely to Wysing's residency and exhibition programmes. We work with young people age 15 - 25 in rural Cambridgeshire and Fenland, and continue to work on Circuit Cambridge, a programme for young people age 18 - 25 in partnership with Kettle's Yard, Cambridge and in collaboration with Tate.

You can find more information on our learning programme for different audiences in the what's on section on the website.

Studios
Artists occupying studios for up to five years, of which there are 20 artists at any one time, are offered individual professional development including career review meetings, support with seeking funding and access to networks.

Exhibitions
Gallery exhibitions platform the research coming out of artist residencies. An annual exhibition in the New Year brings the previous years residency artists together in an exhibition that draws on the themes of their research. Other exhibitions throughout the year profile individual artists' research.
