Open Call: The Art House Solo Residencies 2019/20

The Art House in Wakefield is seeking proposals from individual artists who would like to develop and progress their practice through one of three paid solo residencies at our purpose-built studios in Wakefield. This opportunity is open to artists working in any medium, and at least one of the residencies will be awarded to a disabled artist. If you are unsure if this applies to you, refer to the opportunity FAQs or contact The Art House.

They will provide a month-long residency to three artists at the Art House including:

An artist’s fee of £1,500
A materials budget, up to a maximum of £750
Travel expenses, up to a maximum of £250
Free accommodation in their flat, within the Art House building
Free studio space in the Art House
Access to their print studio with screen print, etching, and laser cutter facilities
An opportunity to show either a new body of work or work in progress created during the residency in their exhibition space.
1-2-1 support from the programme team in producing, developing, and discussing your work and critical practice. They will talk with selected artists prior to the start of the residency and work to develop a programme of support which suits your needs.

They are happy to discuss how the offer can be changed to suit your needs. They will accept proposals from artists who would like to work collaboratively with another artist, although the fee will then be shared between collaborators.

Residency Dates:
Each residency will run for five weeks and culminate in an exhibition, event, or series of events in one of the following slots:
29 April - 31 May 2019, with a public event on 29 May 2019
1 July - 2 August 2019, with a public event on 25 July 2019
