LAS: Sally Kheng Pop-up Residency

Sally Kheng will be in residency at the Usher Gallery on Saturday 19 December, working in watercolour ink. It's a pop-up residency, which means she'll be set up in the gallery creating new work while visitors can stop by, meet her, and see the paintings as they come together. If you've ever wondered how a piece actually gets made, this is the kind of thing that lets you watch it happen in real time rather than just seeing the finished frame on a wall.

The residency is part of the LAS Show 2026, the bi-annual exhibition put on by the Lincolnshire Artists' Society. The society's artists run these residencies alongside the main show, so Kheng is one of several members taking turns to work in the gallery. It's a good way to get a look at the process behind the work and have a chat with the artist while she's at it.

There's more to the show than the residencies, too. The LAS Show 2026 also features the Lincolnshire Artists Society Usher Centenary, an exhibition of members' work held in conjunction with the gallery's own centenary celebrations. So if you're heading in for the residency, you can spend some time with the wider exhibition as well.

Sally Kheng's residency is on 19 December at the Usher Gallery, inside the Lincoln Museum in Lincoln. It's part of the LAS Show 2026, staged by the Lincolnshire Artists' Society.
