Artist Appau Junior Boakye-Yiadom is the inaugural recipient of the Donna Lynas Residency - a pioneering opportunity for an artist at a key moment in their career in memory of the Curator who was widely known, in her roles including as Director of Wysing Arts Centre, as a long-term supporter of artist development. The residency celebrates Lynas’ legacy but it also comes at a critical moment in terms of conversations around artist pay, and the sustainability of artists’ careers, long-term.
