Call for Submissions Set For Roscommon Arts Centre

Roscommon Arts Centre is offering new residency opportunities to visual artists in 2012/2013.

We now welcome high-quality proposals from artists to work with Roscommon Arts Centre - deriving from a new strand within our visual arts programme, to create or complete new bodies of work and to engage in collaborative processes with communities resulting in a final exhibition.

Each residency will last for approximately three months, during which time artists will have the opportunity to develop their work in the centre's gallery space. As part of the residency, artists will be required to identify and engage with members of the local community through a programme of workshops, talks or other means, which will assist the artist in developing their own practice and may feed into their show, while offering new opportunities for locals to engage with artists in a new and meaningful way. The final two weeks of the residency will be dedicated to an exhibition of work to the public.

Proposals in the area of film / video / painting / drawing / sculpture / multi-media / installation are welcome (we are interested in receiving proposals from visual artists working in all forms).

This is an exciting opportunity for visual artists that will allow artists the time and space to make work, working closely in the context of Roscommon Arts Centre and allowing artists the time to realise their proposal ideas.

Proposals from artists will be considered for the 2012/2013 programme.

Your statement should include a brief paragraph of your current art practice, a summary of how you would use the residency time to develop your practice, outline summary of how you wish to engage with local community within your residency period and a summary of a proposed exhibition.
