Opportunity 2014

Berwick Visual Arts is pleased to announce applications are now open for 
its annual residency opportunity in partnership with Berwick Film & 
Media Arts Festival.

The residency is an opportunity for an artist working with moving image 
to create a new piece of work in response to the 2014 festival theme of 
‘Border Crossing’ and have the resulting work premiered at the festival.

In 2014 the festival will take it’s starting point as Berwick’s position 
at the heart of what was once known as the ‘debatable lands,’ with an 
identity neither English nor Scottish but all of its own, the festival 
will cross borders, exploring border identities all over the world.

The residency opportunity is open to UK and internationally based 
artists who have been out of college (BA graduate) for a minimum of 3 
years. Those who have completed an MA and /or PhD are also welcome to apply.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate a strong commitment to their 
artistic practice and evidence a body of work and strong track record, 
through new work, projects, exhibitions, publishing, and/or commissions. 
Part of this track record should be specifically in moving image work, 
though we applications from artists working across different art forms.

The artist will be expected to live and work in Berwick for the 6 month 
residency period and start at an agreed date between February and April 
2014. Studio space and accommodation is provided by Berwick Visual Arts.

The funding available for the residency is up to £8000. This figure is 
inclusive of artist’s commission fee, material costs and production 
costs for the final outcome.

Shortlisted artists will be invited for interview on Tuesday 17th 
December 2013 in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
