A unique opportunity for a disabled artist to further their own practice and develop a proposal for future work with the host organisations.   The residency will provide an ideal platform for an artist to work up commission ideas for the Cultural Olympiad Unlimited programme, supported by three high profile arts organisations working in Cumbria, and their networks of artists, audiences and cultural partners in the North West.   This opportunity is open to artists developing work across a range of art-forms, however we particularly welcome artists who are interested working in a participative fashion to explore new technologies and future ways of life.  
The chosen artist will be expected to:
·      engage/collaborate with the newly formed Cumbrian Disabled Artists Network
·      contribute to Lanternhouse's participative programme during their residency
·      present proposals at the end of the residency  
Accommodation for 2-3 weeks at Lanternhouse, Ulverston, and a stipend of £300 is available to the chosen artist. We expect the residency to take place in January 2011.  

Expressions of interest should be sent to Amy at amy@prismarts.org.uk. Please include examples of recent work, an up to date CV and a brief explanation of why you are interested in this opportunity.  

Deadline: 1st November 2010
