Visiting Artists Residency at Greatmore Studios
The
aim of the Visiting Artists Residency is to facilitate cultural
exchange and creative dialogue by bringing together international and
local artists in a stimulating and supportive environment. In this
milieu, artists have formed strong professional bonds and lifelong
friendships. Four
studios are allocated for visiting artists. Twelve visiting residencies
are available each year, with four visiting artists participating at
any one time. The duration of the residency is for 3 months.
Visiting
artists are obliged to interact with the permanent residents, give a
presentation of their work, participate in the outreach programme and
exhibit their work at the end of their stay. The visiting residency includes accommodation, studio space, per diems, outreach and materials budget plus an exhibition in
Greatmore's Gallery space at the conclusion of the residency. On occasion Greatmore can accept self funded artists.
