The Maltings (Berwick) Trust Residencies with Newcastle University
The Maltings (Berwick) Trust and Newcastle University’s Centre for Rural Economy (CRE) and Institute for Creative Arts Practice have an ongoing programme of artist residencies and commissions that supports the exchange and sharing of knowledge between the artist and researchers to inform critical responses to contemporary rural issues.
Importantly, the programme enables new and unexpected dialogues, flows of ideas and exchanges between creative arts practitioners, individuals, communities, and researchers and students at the university.
The residencies and commissions are research based and they do not expect an artistic outcome such as a final exhibition to be delivered at the end of the residency period, but they do expect a presentation of the research undertaken to partners and stakeholders.
The Maltings (Berwick) Trust can continue to work with the appointed artist after the residency period to support further artistic outcomes that may have developed if this is appropriate.
Funds are offered to support accommodation costs in Berwick-upon-Tweed or the surrounding area.
Studio space is provided at The Maltings Theatre & Cinema.
