Special Events
SUMMER PROJECT RESIDENCY 2024
The Summer Project 2024 will focus on the themes of Environment, Identity, Migration and Sustainable Structures and artists appropriate to these topics have been invited as artist mentors. It will encourage exploration and cross pollination across a range of approaches, including performance, digital and sound as well as more familiar forms.
10 free places have been offered to low-income or underrepresented emerging artists, the remainder are heavily subsidised.
Participants will be encouraged to give full reign to their abilities and imagination, but also to challenge notions of what art activity can be through communication and collaboration with those in other subject areas. Participants will be supported by a group of 14 artist mentors – all established artists and practitioners – drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. Technical support in film, digital and print will also be available throughout the residency. Additionally a series of lectures, seminars and discussions on the key themes will be led by visiting artists who are working across boundaries and at the intersection of the arts and other areas like science and new technologies. Our local community will be invited to attend the evening lecture series which will be free of charge on booking.
The Summer Project will conclude with an exhibition of selected work from the residency and a Summer Project publication will be available in print and digital formats for schools, libraries, and colleges.
