Artist in Residence 2021

Thursday, 11 February 2021, 2.00pm

Waterford Healing Arts Trust (WHAT) invites artists of all disciplines with a commitment to participatory and collaborative practice in healthcare contexts to submit proposals for its 2021 Artist in Residence programme at University Hospital Waterford (UHW).

The 2021 residency programme aims to support artists to develop their arts practice by creatively collaborating with staff working at UHW. The successful artist(s) will devise ways to engage healthcare staff in participatory and / or collaborative arts experiences with a view to creating new work. The residency may explore and reflect on the experience of healthcare staff during/in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic and the artist(s) might engage with a particular cohort of staff e.g. nursing staff, radiographers etc. The artist(s) approach must adhere to public health guidelines.

The artist(s) will have access to support and mentoring as needed from the WHAT Director and, subject to public health restrictions, the artist will also have use of the following at the WHAT Centre for Arts and Health at UHW:
- Artist Studio
- Multi-Use Studio, including access to dance floor
- WHAT arts and health library
- Administrative support from WHAT staff
- Desk, internet access, kitchen facilities

The fee for the residency will depend on the duration and ambition of project. Projects of varying duration will be considered. Max fee awarded is €5000. More than one residency may be awarded in 2021.
