Each Fellowship is hosted by one of the partner universities. The successful Fellows will be based at their host university from February for 12 months. They will be provided a with a studio within the art department, access to workshop and library facilities and supported by a mentor.
Freelands Studio Fellowships run in partnership with:
- Bath School of Art, Film and Media, Bath Spa University
- Belfast School of Art, Ulster University
- Birmingham School of Art, Birmingham City University
- Cardiff School of Art and Design, Cardiff Metropolitan University
- Duncan Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee
- Falmouth School of Art, Falmouth University
- Gray’s School of Art, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen
- School of Art and Media, University of Brighton
The focus of the Fellowships is on sustained development of practice, alongside which Fellows will engage with current students, supporting staff in undertaking workshops, crits and tutorials as well as having the opportunity to deliver at least one artist’s talk.
Each Fellow will receive a bursary of £26,000 for the duration of the Fellowship. They will work towards a solo exhibition, housed by their host university.
Applicants may only apply to one of the proposed Fellowships and may not apply to a university that they themselves have studied at, so Brighton Alumni cannot take up the Fellowship at Brighton.
Initial applications are direct to Freelands Foundation.
Applications close at midday, Monday 16 December 2024.
