SHOP – Artist in Residence: Call for Applications

SHOP has TWO, two-week residencies available for Artists in Residence. Two weeks of 14 consecutive days is the preferred duration of the residencies within the SHOP programme.

We are looking for proposals that will explore and create work which is specific to Stoke town, considering  the location and people within it. There is possibility to hold workshops as part of your residency  – and the brief remains flexible for a variety of artists to apply.

There is an opportunity for one of the residencies to take place at both SHOP and the community centre/garden, Boothen on London Road, Stoke on Trent.

The two ideal residency periods are: 6th September – 20th September 2010 & 25th September – 9th October 2010.

Both residences will recieve a fee of £500.

To submit a proposal, send your CV, any images or links to examples of your work and a short proposal outlining the following:

• The area of your practice you will be exploring during the residency
• How you will work with the local context and community
• Why SHOP and Stoke Town for this proposal
