Litmus Open Call, Oriel Davies

Litmus is an exhibition and development programme offering curatorial and practical support for five early career artists based in Wales and the Welsh Borders (Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire) to research, develop and present new work at Oriel Davies.

Artists are invited to submit applications for two current opportunities:

•   Curatorial and practical dialogue and support from Litmus Curator Louise Hobson, Oriel Davies Curator Alex Boyd Jones and the wider gallery team.

•   A fee of £600 and an additional budget of £400 for production, materials and expenses.

Litmus Residency

You are invited to propose how, through this opportunity, you might open out an area of research or a new aspect, project or development within your practice. The Litmus Residency is an opportunity for time and space to explore emergent strands of practice.

•   A residency based from Oriel Davies' third exhibition space from 7 October – 2 December 2017.

•   Curatorial and practical dialogue and support from Litmus Curator Louise Hobson, Oriel Davies Curator Alex Boyd Jones and the wider gallery team.
