Information about the Residency Programme at Hospitalfield:
http://hospitalfield.org.uk/residencies/

Use our printmaking studio to complete a design, publishing or fine art

project or to experiment with new ideas.
The opportunity is open to experienced printmakers who would like to use
the etching facilities (safe printmaking set up). An induction is given at the
start of the residency.

In addition the Printmaking Resident will be part of a group of international

cultural practitioners and have access to the sociable, discursive
programme hosted by Hospitalfield which takes place mainly in the
evenings.
The Interdisciplinary Residency Programme at Hospitalfield has been
devised to appeal across all art forms, it has been planned as an opportunity
to support those working across the arts who recognise that they require
some time to focus on the development of their work.
We will ensure that this is a productive time set within the retreat-like
setting of Hospitalfield, which works for individuals or collaborative
groups as a test bed for developing their practice. Hospitalfield facilitates a
programme of interaction and discussion within the group and with invited
guests speakers. It is also an opportunity that appeals to those arts
professionals who need time to work on a specific project, undisturbed, in a
supportive environment.
The Interdisciplinary Residency is open for application from artists, writers,
designers, architects, producers, dancers, choreographers, commissioners,
curators, educators, researchers and others developing their working lives
within the scope of contemporary cultural practices.
The selectors will wish to bring together a group that reflects a very broad
range of practices that will find the time invaluable and gain much from the
informal exchange or working within the residency setting.
This programme is not supported directly through public funds but
Hospitalfield aims to keep it affordable. We expect that some of the
applicants will pay for themselves and others will look to their professional
body, local cultural support structures, private trusts or advocating agency
for support. Examples of these would be; Creative Scotland, regional Artist &
Craft Maker Awards, Hope Scott Trust, Royal Scottish Academy Residencies
for Scotland Scheme and The Cross Trust in Scotland and similar agencies in
other countries which practitioners can access information about through
relevant Arts Councils and artist support organisations.
If you need information to support a funding application in advance of our
selection dates please use the material on our website.
If you are selected for the residency by our
panel we are happy to provide supporting
documentation, such as an official letter,
after the offer has been made.
