Posted: 07/08/2015
Galleries,
museums and visual arts venues throughout the UK are invited to submit
proposals to host the 2016 Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award (ARMA), Artist in
Residence, worth £15,000. The Award funds a 10-week artist residency and public
art commission to be displayed at the host venue or nearby. A further £2,250
will be available to the host venue to cover expenses.
Applications are invited from both organisations with experience in
hosting artist residencies and/or running learning programmes, and those with
little experience and for whom this would be a good opportunity to develop work
in this area. The residency will run from spring/summer to autumn 2016. The
artist/s will create an indoor or outdoor artwork (temporary, semi-permanent or
permanent, see Venue Application Information, below) for the venue or nearby,
and will carry out (as a guide) 8-10 days of education activities with
children, young people and/or family groups during the course of the residency.
The commissioned artwork will respond to the venue, e.g. to a collection,
display, the building, the venues history, or to an audience group who use the
venue.
The
Award is an opportunity for a venue to work with an artist or artists through a
residency and public art commission, and develop their education programme with
children, young people and/or families. The venue does not need to have
previously hosted an artist in residence or to have commissioned artists to
create artworks to apply for this Award. Visit http://engage.org/arma2016venues for further information.
Application deadline: Monday 13 July 2015
