About
The North Atlantic Islands Residency has been set up to foster an exchange between art, science and humanities through a dialogue and understanding of individual fields of study. It is a unique opportunity for an inter generational residency of shared experiences and differing perspectives.
2024 saw the launch of its first residency, a partnership with Original Errant and The Excelsior Trust, structured around a three-week voyage in the North Atlantic Islands of Orkney, Shetland and Faroes, aboard the Lowestoft fishing smack, Excelsior.
The North Atlantic Islands Residency provides established artists and young innovators the opportunity to explore the emotional dynamics of being at sea, personal creative disciplines, fieldwork study, knowledge exchange, plus working towards a collaborative project of exhibitions and publication.
Applications for 2025 residency available 9th December 2024
