Community Focus (CF) Residency for Deaf and Disabled Artists
CF would like to invite applications from deaf and disabled artists to apply for our two residencies. The artist in residence programme will help us to realize our vision for CF: giving high-quality deaf and disabled artists a means of fulfilling their potential through an extended opportunity to develop their work and gain access to mainstream galleries and audiences. Each residency will take place over a period of 12 weeks, resulting in an exhibition at CF’s in-house gallery, and also the opportunity to show in other selected venues.

The artists will each receive a bursary of £2,500 divided into two instalments during their 12 week residency. Artists will also have access to technical, administrative, personal, and professional support, and each residency will culminate with an exhibition of their work in CF’s gallery and will tour out to CF’s partner galleries.

Closing Date: 5pm Friday September 4th
Interview date: Tuesday September 22nd
