Each year Longhouse awards five action research bursaries. The bursaries provide artists with an opportunity to enhance and refine their own practice by developing new approaches to their work and an increased awareness of different ways of working in the public realm.

This year the bursaries will take place from September 2010 to February 2011.

Lead Artist/Mentor

Longhouse is currently looking for a lead artist/mentor to support this year’s action research bursary artists.

The lead artist will work with Longhouse to design and deliver the bursary programme and help to select the five artists. The role will also include the running of a number of one to one meetings and the delivery of 3 group events/workshops with the five artists, to further enhance their professional development during the 6 months.

This year the bursary programme will focus on ideas relating to digital and social inclusion and democracy; looking at how artistic practice can bridge gaps within regeneration contexts; filling physical spaces as well as gaps in infrastructure and investigating the artist’s role in building sustainable communities.
