Opportunity: Residency in North Yorkshire

Artist in residence based at The Art Depot in Gargrave, North Yorkshire

Who we are

Chrysalis Arts Development is an agency supporting the visual arts and environmentally responsible arts practice. We aim to address the need for excellent art and high-quality support for talent development across a challenging geographical area. We believe that artists and creativity can help transform places, invigorate communities and contribute to the wider social economic infrastructure.

The residency

The residency is intended for an artist (or artists) to research and develop new work that focuses on environmental and climate issues, articulates an ecology of place and which specifically relates to the area in and around the location of The Art Depot in the Craven district of the Yorkshire Dales (see below), drawing upon its landscapes, heritage, biodiversity and ecosystems.

The residency will be split into three stages with time for contemplation and to formulate ideas in between.

During the first stage, the artist will be invited to conduct their own research while in residence at The Art Depot.
This will be followed by a development stage designed to allow the artist/s to reflect, undertake further off-site research as necessary, formulate ideas and to develop new work in response to the initial research stage.
The third stage will consist of a presentation of a finished work/body of work at the end of the residency. The format of this presentation is flexible and can be in situ or online by negotiation.

Setting and accommodation

The Art Depot is an award-winning building set in Gargrave, a large village in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, situated on the very edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Both the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal pass through the village and the building backs on to the canal.

Private accommodation at The Art Depot includes one bedroom, a large workspace, a kitchen and a shower room. It is fully accessible for wheelchair users.
