We are now inviting expressions of interest for residencies and commissions:
Residencies: up to £25,000 inc VAT
These residencies are for developing one or more aspects of your practice through, with and alongside the place of Berwick-upon-Tweed and its wider contexts. There must be public engagement throughout which could take the form of workshops, talks, skill sharing etc. and there must be a public outcome such as an exhibition, performance or event of some kind.
Commissions: up to £40,000 inc VAT
Commissions are an opportunity to develop large scale new work in direct engagement with Berwick and its communities. They can also be developed in collaboration with other organisations – e.g, if a new commission that is in discussion or already underway is seeking further funding and could be nuanced for two major presentations.
Residency + Commission: up to £65,000 inc VAT
Residencies and commissions can be combined to allow for a longer period of engagement and development which will then support a larger scale presentation of the public outcome.
Deadline for expressions of interest is Monday 4 November at 9am
