Residency Opportunity at Cromarty Arts Trust
10 Jun 2008
The Student Residency Prize at Cromarty Arts Trust is open to any student who will graduate this year, or to artists who have graduated in the past two years, in any artform from a college or university in Scotland.
Deadline: June 31st 2008
The prize consists of a student residency at the Cromarty Stables, for one month from 1st to 31st August 2008. Accommodation (which can be shared with a partner) and studio space, will be provided. A grant of £750 towards travel, materials and subsistence costs will also be paid.
The residency is primarily intended to provide an opportunity for the winning artist to develop their own work in a new and inspiring environment. However, the resident will also be expected to:
- Hold a public event i.e. a talk or an educational workshop together with a small informal exhibition
- Write a short retrospective report about their residency
- Leave behind a piece of their work for the Cromarty Collection
Applications should be made directly to Cromarty Arts Trust, Ardyne, Bank Street, Cromarty, IV11 8YE not later that 31st June 2008. Applications should include no more than 5 photographs/written pieces/excerpts of work and a brief statement (max 1000 words) about the themes you would hope to explore or develop during the residency. Two relevant references should be provided.
A Highland-based panel which will include an established artist and representatives of arts organisations and the Cromarty Arts Trust will decide on the winner.
