The Rea Garden Residency, Birmingham, UK
Deadline: 17 December, 2009
The Rea Garden is an outdoor artist project space based in the centre of industrial Digbeth, Birmingham. The space itself was cut-off from the public for around twenty years due to a fire in the adjoining warehouse which resulted in the location being boarded up.
During 2009 and 2010 Behind Closed Doors are hosting four artist residencies at The Rea Garden, offering artists the opportunity to spend time in the space, producing new site responsive works and exhibiting the work to the public.
The residency will last for 10 weeks. This will culminate in a two week exhibition, open to the public with a private viewing. The resident can access the space at all times and the residency will involve the space being open to the public at least one day a week.
There is a bursary of £1000 to cover artists' fees, as well as a budget of up to £500 for materials and equipment.
