Artcore Open Call: Shifting Terrain

Melitta Nemeth, Winner of the Stand Up 2020 prize will co-curate and feature alongside two selected women artists in this upcoming exhibition at Artcore Gallery.

Shifting Terrain - Invites all women creatives to apply, responding to the gallery as a space for exchange with each other and the audience to create encounters that result in new and unexpected outcomes.

We hope this residency will act as a testing ground for diverse practitioners and practices. With concerns of crisis, conflict and climate encircling our lives many people look toward building new and adapting old structures to respond with urgency and find better ways of living together, implementing care for each other and the planet. We are interested in exploring these possibilities by recognising the multiplicity of women and embracing difference to connect and respond to each other, the wider community and environment.

Eligibility: This Open Call is inclusive of All Women across the East Midlands. We encourage applications from those who are currently underrepresented in the cultural sector including: Black and POC artists, individuals with disabilities, long-term health conditions, those who have not engaged in formal arts education, are from lower socio-economic backgrounds or facing intersecting cultural or social barriers.

An Artist blog and digital platform throughout the residency to share the progress of the work. Residency space at Artcore Cabin. A chance to deliver artist talks at Artcore Gallery and online. A chance to collaborate with curators on Artcores 'Radical Reading Group' (to accompany the exhibition). Mentoring and curatorial support throughout. A catalogue – both digital and physical.
