ParkinProgress is a residency opportunity for young artists who have the ability to work on collaborative trans-disciplinary projects.  We are seeking artists whose practice has the capacity to develop through this trans-diciplinary process beyond the scope of the 10-day residency.

The ParkinProgress UK residency will take place in Nottingham from 7 – 16 September 2012, when 20 UK resident artists will be selected to take part alongside 20 international artists from the 5 other partner nations of France, Latvia, Hungary, Belgium and the Czech Republic. Selected artists will be provided with accommodation and meals and will be expected to reside in Nottingham over the 10 day period in order to fully benefit from the experience. The project will be hosted by Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, working within the Castle grounds and surrounding parkland. The public 'promenade' will take place on the final weekend of the residency when artists will showcase their 'work in progress' to a wider audience.

During the residency the artists will be provided with studio and technical facilities through Nottingham Trent University and a workshop programme will take place to facilitate creative collaboration. Travel expenses to Nottingham will be covered and a fee of 500 Euros paid to selected artists. Accommodation in NTU student residences and three meals a day will be covered as well.
