The NK Arts Partnership (artsNK, Design Factory, Design-Nation, the National Centre for Craft & Design and the Terry O’Toole Theatre) are inviting artists and companies who work in ANY art form to apply for a series of new artist-led residencies in May/June 2015, in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire. Each residency has a budget of £5,000 including all fees and costs.

The Ridges + Furrows initiative will draw on and celebrate the history and heritage of North Hykeham, Waddington, Welbourn and Sleaford. The purpose of the four residencies is to develop audiences, ideas and energy for a new multi arts festival to be held in 2016.

The appointed artists/companies will explore and express the local history, communities and landscape; deliver workshops/performances/installations/exhibitions with residents, local groups and schools and then present the ideas and outcomes at a public ‘sharing’ event in each participating location.
