SLICE

42 New Briggate

Throughout September and October 2010, SLICE will be hosting a series of inter-institutional artist residencies in 42 New Briggate, a small shop unit in Leeds City Centre. We would like to hand the space over to 3 students at a time, ideally one from each of the following three institutions: Leeds College of Art, Leeds Met and University of Leeds.

There is no restrictions on theme or media, but it is hoped that the residency will provide a platform for collaboration and for to creating new work. It is a chance to integrate within the creative community in Leeds, to develop your practice and make connections with other emerging artists working in the city.

Each residency will run for 6 days, from Saturday, with a public opening in 42 New Brigggate at the end of each residency on Thursday 6 – 8pm. There are small bursaries available of up to £50 per residency to help cover material costs.
