Diana Chambers was Artist-in-Residence in September 2024, where she developed a new body of work, inspired directly by the museum building, the Butler Gallery collection and her daily journey to and from the studio. An open studio event was hosted following Diana's residency, showing her artistic process and artworks in stages of development.

Diana Chamber’s Artist Residency was part of a supported, inclusive and accessible artist-led residency programme at Butler Gallery, where a selected artist from KCAT Arts Centre has the opportunity to develop a new or existing body of work in the museum context.
