Artist in Residence 2024 AIR

Studio-Access Artist Residency 2024

Following the success of our 2021-24 Artist-in-Residence (AiR) opportunities, and with thanks to further funding from Creative Scotland, we are delighted to offer our second Studio-Access Artist Residency for 2024.

This opportunity is specifically designed to promote equity within the arts and as such we welcome applications from artists who meet one or more of the following criteria:

 

  • have a minority ethnic background,
  • members of LGBTQ+ communities,
  • artists living with a disability,
  • neurodivergent artists,
  • and artists living in areas of multi-deprivation (SIMD areas 1&2).

The Summer 2024 AiR opportunity provides the following access and support:

  • Artist Fee of £500
  • 10 studio sessions: morning, afternoon or evenings, to be used before Sunday 31st August 2024
  • Access to the Visual Arts and/or Dance & Drama Studios
  • 3 Mentoring Sessions
  • No expectation of exhibition or public sharing of work.
  • Option to deliver Artist Talk for additional fee, if appropriate

This AiR opportunity aims to provide access to a dedicated artistic space, with the option of evening and weekend access, recognising the challenges of balancing paid work and/or family/caring responsibilities whilst developing a growing artistic practice. We envisage this will be most suitable to an artist or maker who is looking to re-establish a routine of focus to their work. We are also committed to addressing environmental and climate change issue and we welcome applications that explore this subject matter.

Eligibility

You must be a Scottish based artist or maker working in the visual and/or applied arts sector.

Given this is not a residential opportunity and Birnam Arts is looking to support an artist or maker to dedicate routine access to the studio and practice development, applications from Perthshire based artists will be prioritised. However, if you are able to demonstrate clearly how you would intend to access the space through sourcing local accommodation, we would welcome your application.

Please ensure all sections are completed and returned to us at visualarts@birnamarts.com by midnight on Sunday 23rd June 2024. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
