RBS BURSARY AWARDS 2015

RBS BURSARY AWARDS 2015
Deadline: 6 July 2015
Application fee: £20

 

Applications are now open for the 2015 RBS Bursary Awards - a unique award designed to provide a pivotal platform for ten early career artists working in three dimensions, judged to be of outstanding talent, to realise their full potential in the professional sphere.

Each year the RBS awards ten bursaries to early career artists working in three dimensions judged to be of outstanding talent. Open to Sculptors of any age and nationality, with or without formal training, working in any style or media the awards are designed to provide vital support during what for many is a difficult transition to successful professional practice. Integral to the society’s aim to promote the diverse language of contemporary sculpture, the Bursary Awards provide a platform to emerging sculptors to realise their full potential in the professional sphere. 

Over two years we showcase their talent through a launch event, two Sculpture Slam talks, a group exhibition, an award catalogue, and a dedicated Bursary Awards section on the RBS website. Bursary winners are also invited to take part in a peer to peer mentoring scheme and receive two free years of membership to the society. With membership comes access to a community of nearly 600 practising sculptors, the unique RBS fellows mentoring scheme, and opportunities to apply for residencies, awards, exhibitions, as well as to present talks. We are also currently actively seeking support to develop the Bursary Awards and enable us to offer a more concrete series of opportunities and prizes to help the ten winners establish their careers.

Deadline for applications: 5pm Monday 6 July 2015.

Application Fee: £20

MONTGOMERY CANAL ARTIST IN RESIDENCY (Wales)

MONTGOMERY CANAL ARTIST IN RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY
Bursary: £12,000 for 6 months starting in December 2014
Deadline: 3rd November 2014
Application fee: none

We are inviting applications from artists with an interest in landscape, architecture and ecology with a collaborative/participative approach to undertake this research residency based on the Montgomery Canal at Llanymynech near Welshpool.

Working with staff and volunteers for the recently-formed Glandŵr Cymru to draw out and address issues of connectivity across the organisation, paying particular attention to how Glandŵr Cymru engages with local people e.g. through volunteering opportunities, community adoptions and non-waterway related visits.

A studio/workspace will be provided for the artist on the England / Wales border at Llanymynech but the artist will be expected to work at and visit locations along the Montgomery Canal.

One of the most important canals in the country in terms of habitat, much of the canal corridor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Welsh section of the canal is of international importance and is designated a Special Area of Conservation due to the presence of rare aquatic plants, otters and water voles. Several nature reserves border the canal, filled with wildflowers and insects, including dragonflies and damselflies.

The artist will be engaged for a six-month period during December 2014 to September 2015 to work with Glandŵr Cymru staff and volunteers in order to investigate and understand how the need for conservation and preservation and to manage  visitors  can still contribute to the local economy, well-being education and enjoyment of the canal system.  This is a research-based residency and therefore the material outcomes of the residency are open but may take the form of temporary artworks. Similarly, events such as exhibitions, workshops, talks, seminars, and tours may be key elements within the project. 

This residency is a collaborative project between the Arts Council of Wales, Glandŵr Cymru and Addo. 

How to Apply

To apply for this residency, please send the following information to [email protected] by 3rd November 2014: .

Fire Station Work/Live Programme, Acme Studios, London (UK only)

Rent free space and grants of £5,000 for UK artists
Deadline: 31st October, 2014
Application fee: none

Acme's work/live programme at the Fire Station is one of the most directly supportive schemes for artists in the United Kingdom, providing combined studio and living space at low rents as well as special bursaries: rent free space and grants of £5,000/year, worth over £30,000.

The former fire station was bought in 1997 and converted with funding from the National Lottery and other sources. Restored and developed to provide 12 purpose-designed work/live and six non-residential studios, these units were developed in response to the lack of affordable space for artists to work and live in, and in particular, to the lack of studios properly accessible to disabled artists.

The fixed-term residency scheme is intended to allow artists more time to concentrate on the development of their work and professional careers, and less time working to survive.

 

Application for Programme 5 (2015-20)

Applications details will be available here from 15 September 2014.

Deadline for applications is 5pm, 31 October 2014.

1. You work in fine art practice (e.g. painting, sculpture, print-making, fine art photography, installation, performance, multi-media, video and time-based work).
2. You are a British citizen (i.e. you are entitled to a United Kingdom Passport) or you have been resident in the United Kingdom for the past 5 years.
3. You are currently resident in the United Kingdom and have leave to remain in the UK for the full duration of the residency. (You will be asked for proof).
4. You will be aged 23 or over on 1st November 2014.
5. You are not in full-time education. Please note that you do not need to have attended an art course to be eligible for the programme.
6. You are willing and able to make a commitment to take up the residency scheme in full.

Royal College of Art, London - Curating Contemporary Art bursaries

Available for the 2014/15 academic year

 

Led by Professor Victoria Walsh, the Curating Contemporary Art Master of Arts Programme at the Royal College of Art is internationally recognised for its commitment to and emphasis on collaborative, studio-based project work that integrates theory and practice throughout the two years of the curriculum.

The programme approaches the field critically, theoretically and through best practice in commissioning, exhibition-making, programming and writing with London-based and national arts venues. Through this approach, knowledge and understanding of these practices is grounded in the context of public audiences, globalisation and the digital.

Widely acknowledged as an important marker of current developments in contemporary art, the CCA MA exhibitions in the central London RCA galleries have become known for introducing new international artists to UK audiences and for their experimental approaches to working with artists including Neïl Beloufa, David Raymond Conroy, Aleksandra Dominovic, S Mark Gubb, Raphael Hefti, Jill Magid, Mosireen Collective, Shana Moulton, Hito Steyerl, Jack Strange, Patrick Hough, Jacob Kirkegaard, Lina Lepelyté, Liz Magic Laser, Hassan Meer, Nástio Mosquito, Laure Prouvost, Ryder Ripps, Alex Schweder, and Jon Wozencroft.

In the increasingly complex cultural environment in which curating takes place, practice and research-based teaching by staff and post-doctoral students ensures the curatorial significance, intellectual value and critical vitality of the MA programme. Recent staff exhibition and research projects include Art and Conflict (led by Michaela Crimmin); No Puppet is dumber than its Puppeteer at the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts Museum Biennale (led by Kit Hammonds); Richard Hamilton: Growth and Form at Tate Modern, Cultural Value and the Digital with Tate Research and Transfigurations: Curatorial and Artistic Research in an Age of Migrations at MACBA (led by Victoria Walsh). These research projects have brought together artists including Leo Asemota, Kader Attia, Camille Henrot, and Lawrence Abu Hamdan, with curators from Bétonsalon (Paris), MACBA (Barcelona), Whitechapel (London), and Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam).

Research applications are welcome throughout the year for students wishing to study beyond their Masters.

Expanding CCA's ambitions and reputation as one of the most internationally significant curating programmes two new posts have also been created—Senior Tutor: Curatorial Theory and Senior Tutor: Theoretical Practice.
