Inverclyde Culture Collective has recently set up a “Creative Practice in Health and Social Care” working group formed from different health and social partners and representatives across Inverclyde. After an initial period of Creative Research, the group identified several priority areas in which through a series of test pilot projects, wish to explore the potential and possibilities of creative response to them. This opportunity locates itself besides and within a broad range of activity happening across Inverclyde connected to similar themes including Greenspace Scotland's “Remembering Together Covid Memorial” and an inaugural test pilot programme by Inverclyde Cares “No One Grieves Alone” a series of talks, discussions, exhibitions and presentations around themes of Grief, loss, bereavement and death taking place in April 2023.

Through this residency an experienced artist or creative practitioner will be invited to:
-Respond through any or multiple art forms to the themes of Loss Grief and Death
-Present and share your research and development as part of the “No One Grieves Alone” programme (April 17th - April 28th, 2023). This could take the form of an online sharing of a work in progress, a talk or discussion, sharing of research, a filmed work or a different kind of event or contribution proposed by the artist(s)
