Hospitalfield are delighted to announce a new flexible residency programme funded by Creative Scotland’s Radical Care Action Research.
Hospitalfield are delighted to announce a new flexible residency programme. This is the first time we have opened up an opportunity like this and we look forward to working with artists to tailor a programme that best supports their development of practice.
We are seeking initial expressions of interest from artists living in Scotland to participate in a ‘tailored’ residency programme happening at Hospitalfield in 2022. Artists with caring responsibilities are invited to apply for a flexible artist residency.
Selected artists will be given a supported opportunity and time at Hospitalfield to develop their work and to create systems to sustain their practice during the residency and beyond. Residencies will be tailored by Hospitalfield in collaboration with selected artists to respond to the artists specific availability and responsibilities.
Situated just to the south of the rural coastal town of Arbroath, Hospitalfield is an artists’ house; a place of ideas combining the conventions of the museum and the academy and interpreting these models for this moment in time. Hospitalfield is attentive to its aims; to support artists and, in this ever-changing environment, our programmes respond to the shift in artist’s needs.
The residency pilot will be aided through consultation with Angus Carers Network and collaborative peer-learning and guidance from Anna McLauchlan who has a background in the arts and is currently a full-time support to her mum.
