2011 Residency Scheme: Call for proposals

 

 

Project Ability is offering Glasgow based visual artists the opportunity to take part in a volunteer residency scheme.

Our workshop is fully accessible and applications are particularly welcomed from artists who have a disability.

The successful artists will have access to workshop space and production facilities five days a week (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays) for a full calendar month. This is not private space and you will have the opportunity to interact with staff and tutors, artists and visitors to the workshop. A reasonable materials allowance of up to £10 per week will be made from our stock supply (i.e. canvas, paper, clay) but extra costs will be incurred if for example you are planning on working extensively in the glass room.

The Residencies will be offered to artists who can successfully demonstrate how they will use the time and resources to develop their artistic practice. This is an opportunity to undertake an intensive period of work; to develop work for an exhibition and / or for your own personal development. You might want to explore new materials such as ceramics or glass and by immersing yourself in the activity you will develop a better understanding of the mediums and processes. Alternatively, you might feel a period of concentrated drawing or painting would be beneficial to you.

You will have the opportunity to submit work to an exhibition: Residency 2011 – the collection in our gallery in January 2012.

In return, we will encourage you to schedule an artist talk for Project Ability artists and friends.

Applications must contain 4 images preferably emailed or on a disc, an artist statement, a work plan, an estimate of materials required and your preferred calendar month from May through to October 2011. Please contact Elisabeth Gibson director@project-ability.co.uk if you would like assistance with any aspect of the application process.

Applications must be received by 28th March 2011. Artists will be notified if they have been awarded a residency by the 18th April. The programme will commence from the 3rd May 2011.

Applications should be submitted online at submission@project-ability.co.uk with residency programme in the subject bar or mailed to: Project Ability, 3rd floor, Trongate 103, Glasgow, G1 5HD
