We are currently working in partnership with the Pendle Hill Landscape Partnership on an exciting four-year programme: The Gatherings. The Gatherings looks to re-connect people and place, with a focus on landscape & heritage and what these things mean to the people living here today. Underlying the programme is community engagement through a socially engaged approach to increasing awareness and access to the Pendle Hill Landscape (AONB).
As part of this program, we invite artists to come and spend time in the local area developing new works and ideas which can be shared with the local community and wider.
We have two Artist Residency opportunities for emerging and more established artists, please see below for details >>>>
Testing Ground: Artist Residencies
Artist Fee: £1000
Materials Budget: up to £200
This residency aims to give artists with socially engaged practices an opportunity to test out new ways of working in response to the new restrictions brought about by COVID. We appreciate this is a difficult time for artists to adapt and rethink socially engaged work and we hope to support artists to trail new ways of engaging with others.
These residencies are intended to:
• Provide artists with the space, time and support to develop their ideas
• Develop new ways of working with people with support from an experienced team
• Create a platform for artists to share their work with audiences and engage with the local community
