What impact do artist residencies have on individuals’ artistic practice, and what value do they bring to communities and the wider sector?
Published: 3 October 2017
This project with University of Glasgow, Glasgow School of Art and industry partners Cove Park, The Bothy Project and The Work Room is seeking to analyse the impact of artist residencies on the individual, the community and the wider sector.
Project Description
Analysing Artist Residencies is a PhD collaboration between University of Glasgow, Glasgow School of Art and industry partners Cove Park, The Bothy Project and The Work Room. The value of artistic practice is notoriously hard to define, especially with regard to its long-term impact, and the artist’s perspective is often overlooked. This project will place the artist’s experience at the heart, through exploring methods to evaluate the impact that artists’ residencies have on their long-term artistic practice.
