Crash 2016
Deadline: December 13, 2015, 9:00 am
In-Situ have announced they are looking for applicants for a 1-week emerging artist residency. 20 emerging artists from across the UK will have free roam over a 7 acre derelict mill and the time and materials to begin making socially-relevant, impactful work. Learn from each other, established artists, and sector experts to begin building a sustainable art career.
About Crash
This will be an intensive communal event in which relationships and lasting networks will be built, developing a strong and resilient emerging artist community.
Each day will begin with a talk from a relevant expert speaking about how they have survived in the art world. Topics will include: money, ethics, engaging with communities, building art-spaces & technological innovation. You will then be free to use their new environment, community, and expertise to begin building work- collaboratively or alone- which will develop throughout the week. Each day will end with a communal meal and time to discuss and reflect on the day’s progression.
This is a free event and all accommodation and food will be provided.

Date: 3rd– 9th January 2016
Accomodation: Nelson ILP Clarion House, Jinney Lane, Newchurch-in-Pendle, Lancashire, BB12 9LL
