31st January 2022 to 3rd February

We're offering the opportunity for up to 5 artists to attend a 4-day workshop led by curator Ian Sergeant, who will be exploring various artists' work, including Donald Rodney.

The theme will be agreed between Ian and participants at the beginning of the workshop. Following the workshop participants will present their ideas through a short pop-up exhibition in Arcadia gallery with funding and technical support.

Attendance allowance: £50/day will be paid to cover travel and subsistence.

You have until Monday 24th to get your applications in!

This is open to our Artspace Exchange artists and you can find out the details of how to apply via the Artspace Exchange Notice Board (Link in bio)

The Artspace Exchange is completely FREE to join and we'd encourage ALL Coventry/Warwickshire based artists to sign up for more great opportunities like this.
