The Living Barracks Cultural Programme Artists Open Call

    We are looking for artists to undertake residencies and commissions, that will be inspired by the extensive heritage collections of the Barracks and the town, and presented in spaces across Berwick upon Tweed.

     

    Berwick ramparts

    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
