Applications to the LCAB Artist Residencies are welcomed from any professional artists and creative practitioners. The term ‘artist’ is understood in the broadest sense to include visual artists, creative writers, musicians, poets and any other producers of original and experimental creative work. Up to four residencies are available.

Each artist will be engaged on a self-employed basis and there is flexibility as to the hours worked. A project may be pursued intensively over a number of weeks or over a longer period of up to twelve months. Up to £10,000 in funding may be claimed per residency, inclusive of expenses.

The artist will be expected to engage closely with the work of at least one researcher from the Centre whether in the sciences, social sciences or humanities, and will be required to produce at least one original piece of work by the end of the project.

Application process

Artists may choose to work with any individual researcher or group of researchers closely associated with LCAB. At least one LCAB funded PhD student or postdoc must be included in any collaboration.

Deadlines

Before submitting a formal application, an informal expression of interest must be made to sarah.bezan@york.ac.uk, briefly outlining your area of interest and residency idea so as to facilitate a discussion between artist and researcher(s). Expressions of interest must be received by 17 March 2022.

The application form should then be completed and submitted by email to lcab-enquiries@york.ac.uk by 31 March 2022, along with a CV including details of past relevant projects and links to online examples where possible.
