Home Residency

There will be an opportunity for two artists to take up supported residencies with Artcore, responding to the title ‘Home’.

Artcore’s ‘Home’ residency will ask artists to consider the complex meaning of home and the essential importance of place to human psychology, to look at the politics of the concept of ‘home’, homelessness, refugeeism and migration, and to explore what the future of home might be.

Residency: 12 September – 14 November 2019
Exhibition: 20 November – 4 December 2019
Deadline – Please send your submissions by midnight on Thursday 29 August

Applications should be made through Curatorspace – https://www.curatorspace.com/opportunities/detail/artists-residency-callout–no-matter-how-strong/3688

You will be asked to provide:
• A proposal telling us about how you plan to respond to the residency theme, why you would like to take part in this residency, and what you would like to achieve through it, both artistically and in terms of your development as an artist
• A statement describing your practice, materials and methods of working
• Curriculum Vitae if you have one
• Visual material directly relating to the proposal such as previous or proposed art work

We are offering each artist:
• An Artist bursary of £800 for exhibition ready work
• A studio space for the duration of the residency
• An opportunity to exhibit the work produced during the residency
• Artist blog
• A chance to deliver artist talks
• Mentoring support throughout the residency
• E Catalogue
• An option to deliver workshops or participatory projects
• Publicity and marketing support

We would anticipate the artists being present at Artcore for at least three days each week through the residency period. There is no additional budget for travel and accommodation, so ideally artists should live within a reasonable travelling distance of Derby, or be able to base themselves in Derby for the residency period.

We expect to retain a selection of the artworks produced during the residency to be part of Artcore collection.

We look forward to receiving your applications!
