It brings together up to 30 artists of all nationalities for 16 days to work, exchange dialogue and experiment in a way that is mutually beneficial. It offers an opporunity of participating in an activity removed geograhically and conceptually from usual studio practice in an environment where experiments can be made and leaps of imagination can occur. The workshop is for professional artists who are willing to navigate ideas and working processes different from the habitual. Deadline usually in April.

As part of Chinese Arts Centre's commitment to developing artists of Chinese descent, a number of residencies have been developed. 'Breathe' aims to give an artist freedom to create, to allow time to reflect on their practice, make new work and benefit from the support and guidance of Chinese Arts Centre staff. There is no pressure on the artist to produce a finished exhibition, and the space will reflect this and is malleable to the artist's ideas. 'Production' is a new residency scheme that is a collaboration together with ArtSway in Sway, Hampshire. 'Production' will attempt to bridge the Urban with the Rural Environment providing an artist an opportunity to discuss this relationship within the confines of a split-site 5 month residency. 'First Step' and 'Whisper' are also two shorter residencies.

Please see their Frequently Asked Questions section (at www.leverhulme.org.uk/about/faq/) before contacting them. The Leverhulme Trust was established in 1925 to distribute surplus monies outstanding after the provision of help for commercial travellers, grocers, chemists and their families. This surplus money is used for providing scholarships for such purposes of research and education as the Trustees might decide. See their website at www.leverhulme.org.uk/grants_awards/ to find a list of eligible projects. Their income derives mainly from a shareholding with Unilever, which in 1999 was £23.2 million. All funding opportunities provided by the Leverhulme Trust require an outline application to be sent, at any time. This is intended to save applicants time and effort. If the project is considered suitable for possible funding you will be invited by the Trust to submit a very detailed application. There are no closing dates for outline applications. Also will support the residency of an artist of any kind in an institution of higher education or a museum in the UK in order to foster a creative collaboration between the artist and the staff and/or students of that institution. Applications should come jointly signed from the artist and a representative of the proposed host group
