VARC - 12 Months Residencies
VARC Residency--- Northumberland, UK
Artists' Residencies in the Community 2014 and 2015- Application
fee: none
VARC' is inviting visual artists to apply for twelve-month residencies
at Highgreen in rural Northumberland. The Trust is hoping to
appoint two artists from applications submitted; one artist to hold the
residency starting 2014 and another artist to hold the residency
starting October 2015.
Aims VARC's primary aims are to: Promote interest, awareness and
understanding of visual arts in a rural community through
engagement with an artist . Develop visual arts projects in rural
communities . Offer a unique opportunity to an artist wishing to
develop his or her practice by working and living in a remote rural
community.
The Residency VARC is looking for: artists who feel that 12 months
spent living in an isolated rural location will significantly benefit
their practice. Although the Trust feels that artists who might most
benefit are those who have lived in an urban or city environment,
artists will be considered regardless of their current location as long
as they can explain how this would benefit their practice. The length
of the residency is one year, as this would allow the artist to
experience the full cycle of seasons as well as the time for the rural
community and environment to have an impact on the work. However
in exceptional circumstances six-month residencies are not ruled out.
The aim is to give the artist a unique opportunity to concentrate on
his/her practice in a remote setting, away from the constraints of city
life. It is hoped that this experience will have a lasting effect on the
artist
