23 July — 24 August 2012

This summer, supported by J.P. Morgan and part of Plus Tate, young artists can take part in shaping and experiencing a parallel artist residency to The Mirror, Wysing’s professional artist summer residency. The residency ran 23 July – 24 August 2012 and young artists had the choice of which days to attend. Young artists had artist-led workshops, access to a studio space and the opportunity to curate an event as part of the professional residency.

The WYA in residence programme included the following:

• Two days of workshops introducing contemporary art by professional artists with studios at Wysing
• A one day workshop introducing The Mirror residency theme with Wysing’s curator and studio artists
• Weekly workshops focused on the residency theme, making work for exhibition and curating skills
• Access to a shared studio space at Wysing
• Trips to other Plus Tate galleries
• Opportunities to informally meet and interact with international residency artists as part of Wysing’s creative campus
• Opportunity to curate an event as part of the professional residency
• Opportunities for public presentation of your work
• Opportunities to undertake and complete Silver or Gold Arts Award

The fee for this programme is £120. However we don't want this be a barrier to low income families and both subsidised and free places are available with travel bursaries supported by the Ernest Cook Trust. 

Applications for the 2012 summer residencies have now closed, but for more information and to apply for the programme in future contact Bryony Graham, Education Development Manager (Maternity Cover) on 01954 718881 or by email.
