Selector for the Rome Fellowship in Contemporary Art at The British School at Rome, 2018. British School at Rome, London

Billingham was invited to be part of the selection panel for the Rome Fellowship in Contemporary Art 2018 alongside Nicholas Berwin, Sacha Craddock, Vivien Lovell, and Karsten Schubert. The fellowship is a valuable opportunity for an early-career artist, working in any discipline and who has a significant track record of exhibiting. It offers a grant of £1,500 per month; a grant towards a short pre-residency visit to the British School at Rome and board and accommodation in a residential studio for a duration of 3 months (October–December 2018). The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence in the Mediterranean supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences. It creates an environment for work of international standing and impact from Britain and the Commonwealth, and a bridge into the intellectual and cultural heart of Rome and Italy. All visual art residencies at the British School at Rome offer membership to the multidisciplinary research community, a varied and international events programme, accommodation in a residential studio, food and 24-hour access to its historic library collection
