Archisle: The Jersey Contemporary Photography Programme, hosted by the Société Jersiaise (Jersey Society) in the British Channel Island of Jersey aims to promote contemporary photography through an ongoing programme of exhibitions, education and commissions. The Archisle project connects photographic archives, contemporary practice and experiences of island cultures and geographies through the development of a space for creative discourse between Jersey and international practitioners.
Archisle is currently inviting applications for the position of Photographer in Residence launching in 2013. This is an exciting post commencing in April/May running for six months through to September/October 2013. The residency provides the following key benefits and opportunities:

  • Studio space with access to inkjet printing and office/internet resources
  • Living accommodation and (limited) expenses

This teaching will be delivered in a workshop format to a range of educational and community groups. Applications are therefore encouraged from practitioners possessing the desire, enthusiasm and a proven ability to impart technical skills and develop critical understanding of contemporary photography across a diverse range of participants.

http://www.artfunkl.com/residency/call-for-entries-experimenta-01/

ArtFunkl is delighted to announce the launch of the Experimenta series of residencies for Visual Artists, Writers and Film/Video Makers. This is a special residency project sponsored by ArtFunkl and there are no fees for artists to attend.
The aim of this new residency series is to bring together combinations of writers and artists to work side by side, creating new energies and new possibilities for creative dialogue. It is an opportunity for artists and writers to open up their practice to ideas and methods of working outside their habitual processes, a chance to explore and experiment.
Manchester is a city which is active in many areas of the Arts. It also has it’s own strong identity and cultural definition, which is fluid and constantly re-inventing itself. Due to the size and location of the city in the north West of England, there is a freedom in the creative environment which is not readily found in larger cities where the Art-World perhaps operates within stricter parameters.
 
I've done this residency and I recommend it!

Léhon is a short walk along the river
Rance to the city of Dinan, which holds the coveted designation "Cité

Berwick Visual Arts is pleased to announce the first of two new residency opportunities for visual artists to research and develop a project and/or new work. The residency programme will enable artists to respond to what Berwick offers in terms of its unique history, coastal and border location, unusual spaces, archives and collections, social contexts and to work with its people. For the first residency Berwick Visual Arts is working in collaboration with Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival to offer an artist working with moving image the opportunity to show the resulting work as part of the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival in late September 2013. To download the Application pack in MS Word click here, or in PDF format click here.

This figure is inclusive of artist’s commission fee, accommodation in Berwick and material costs. Production and exhibition costs for the final outcome of the residency will be supported by Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival and agreed through further discussion with the festival.
