Applications
now Open
Applications are
now
invited for the Laura Ashley Residency
Award.
The successful artist will
be
based for a period of 3 months between
May
-
July 2011
at
the Creative Arts Units at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, part of
Aberystwyth
University.
The residency is open to UK visual artists in
all
disciplines including applied arts.
The
aim of the residency is to allow an
artist ‘time
out’ to
develop their work as they wish while also
including 12 days of education
work with
people in the locality. The basic idea of this education work should
be
proposed by the artist with their application, and the details of
the
project will be planned and organised by Arts Centre staff with the
artist,
before their arrival.
The
successful artist will receive studio space of c. 35 square
metres,
accommodation, living expenses for the duration of their residency
and
extra payment per day of education work.
Aberystwyth
Arts Centre’s Artists’ Residencies are based in the
award-winning
Creative
Arts Units designed by Thomas Heatherwick.
The residencies offer the
chance
for the artist to step away from the everyday constraints of life
and
experience time in which to develop individual artistic practice, and
also
to exchange ideas in a creative atmosphere with people from
other
disciplines. The
Laura Ashley
Residency also offers the opportunity
to
plan and carry out an educational project within the area. We
do
expect the successful artist to have some experience of education work,
but
they will also receive support and guidance from the experienced
Visual
Arts Education
team.
