Residency Opportunity at Cromarty Arts Trust

The Student Residency Prize is open to any student who will graduate this year, or to artists who have graduated in the past two years, in any art-form from a college or university in Scotland.

The prize consists of a student residency at the Cromarty Stables, for one month from 1st to 31st August 2010. Accommodation (which can be shared with a partner) and studio space, will be provided. A grant of £750 towards travel, materials and subsistence costs will also be paid.

The residency is primarily intended to provide an opportunity for the winning artist to develop their own work in a new and inspiring environment. However, the resident will also be expected to:

• Hold a public event i.e. a talk or an educational workshop together with a small informal exhibition
• Write a short retrospective report about their residency
• Leave behind a piece of their work for the Cromarty Collection

Apply for Cromarty Residency and if selected you are guaranteed a very special time.

Expect to be charmed by this place and if you find its not to your liking call me….and we can swap places.

After finishing college, a month here could really refresh and inspire you in unexpected ways. - quote from Caroline Bury (student prize winner 2008)
