“This collaborative visual arts project will bring together learning disabled and non-learning disabled artists to develop shared ideas and new contemporary art work.”

Venture Arts has received funding from Arts Council England for an exciting partnership project that will bring together learning disabled and non-learning disabled artists to develop shared ideas and new contemporary work.

Venture Arts are seeking expressions of interest from visual artists who would like to be considered to engage with the OutsiderXchangeS project. All successful artists will receive £1,000 artist fee and be given a free studio space for five months (February – July 2016) coming together for 1-2 day(s) per week to share their studio with a learning disabled artist involved in the project.

Work produced will be showcased by Venture Arts, Castlefield Gallery and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, following the residencies in Autumn 2016. For further details, including how to apply, please download the Artist Call Out below or visit www.outsiderxchanges.com
