Modern Art Oxford invites expressions of interest from five artists or creatives to participate in Boundary Encounters (22 July – 29 October), a summer show of residencies, projects, and live events. This paid opportunity is open to artists and creatives with a minimum of two years professional practice, currently living and working within the South East region. The deadline for submissions is Sunday 23rd April.
Boundary Encounters: Creatives in Residence is a unique opportunity for five artists and creatives to develop their professional practice. Reflecting on the grass roots development of the arts and creative collectives in urban life, we are particularly interested to hear from people who have an interest in engaging audiences directly with their practice, and are committed to one or more of the following:
- Collaborative research
- Interdisciplinary practice
- Social learning experiences
Successful artists and creatives will be given a fee of £1000 and the use of a communal, creative studio with work benches and wall space in the main galleries. In addition to the fee, materials budget of £125 and a travel budget of £175 will be available.
The offer also includes regular mentoring throughout the summer period including the formation of a peer group, formed with fellow artists and Creatives in Residence.
The residency has three aims:
- To offer time and space for artists and creatives to develop new work, in a social, supportive, inclusive environment.
- To initiate new conversations with Modern Art Oxford’s audiences in a collaborative and open way.
- For Modern Art Oxford to develop new ways of working with and supporting local artists and creatives in the South East.
