Newark and Sherwood District Council is seeking two artists for a residency based at the National Civil War Centre, working with people to create work inspired by the collections.

Newark and Sherwood District Council is looking for two early-mid career community-focused artists, creatives or collectives to take up a residency based in public studio space at National Civil War Centre in Newark as part of the Open Doors project.

You’ll work with community groups at locations across the district of Newark and Sherwood, as well as interact with visitors in the studio.

As an experienced educator or participatory arts practitioner, you’ll work with people to co-create artworks that respond to and are inspired by our historical artefacts, collections, buildings and/ or heritage sites.

If your practice is accessible, inclusive, environmentally responsive, you care about communities and want to be part of a thriving artistic and cultural movement in the East Midlands, contact the project team!

The first residency will take place for four to five months between June 2024 and the end of September 2024. The second residency will take place four to five months between October 2024 and the end of March 2025.
