Legacy
In 2023 four organisations with which Lynas had worked closely — Wysing Arts Centre, Modern Art Oxford, South London Gallery, and Somerset House Studios, for whom she was an advisor — jointly created a new three-year residency in her memory. Lynas was known for supporting artists over the long term and giving opportunities when they are most needed. Continuing this approach, the residency is aimed at providing an artist at a key point in their career with stability, support, and space to reflect, without expected outcomes.

The first recipient of the Donna Lynas Residency (2023–26) is Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom, an artist working across multmedia and performance.
