Bankley Studio20 Graduate Residency Bankley Studios would like to offer the opportunity of a one month residency to 3 Manchester based third year Fine Art students working within Bankley’s project space ‘Studio 20’. The residency will take place during August 2016 (after the students have graduated) and the exhibition will take place during September 2016.
During this residency Bankley will be hosting critical discussions and events with leading arts professionals around the theme of collaboration. The 3 successful graduates will be encouraged to take part and contribute to this event.
The residency includes:
• £150 stipend for each graduate • Shared studio space with 24 hour access and lockable storage • Group exhibition in the newly renovated Bankley Gallery following the residency (September) • A curator will mentor the Graduates through the process of hanging their show. • The Graduates will be encouraged and supported to add to the Bankley blog whilst in residence as well as hold their own artist talk and / or contribute to other events.
The successful applicants may choose to collaborate and/or work individually for the duration of the residency, however we anticipate they will work together to arrange their artist talks / event and hang a coherent exhibition with the support of the curator.
