International are pleased to be seeking new applications for the Digital
Artist Residency Scheme 2009.

The scheme will be of particular interest to established digital artists
seeking time and space to develop new works, research innovative ideas,
make new connections and explore technique or production. 

Based at The National Creation Centre on the edge of the beautiful Lake
District in Cumbria, UK, successful artists will be offered
accommodation and a flexible and open-ended opportunity  to push their
work forward and creatively engage with the two partner organisations.

We are seeking innovative and experimental artists who are naturally
collaborative and interested in leaving a local legacy through
participatory activity.

Please apply before 2nd March 09 by email to wendy.rogerson 'at'
folly.co.uk and include

    * Your reason for applying
    * What you hope to achieve through the residency and anticipated
outcomes
    * Your ideal time-scale
    * Some examples of your recent work
    * A completed equal opportunities monitoring form, available to
download from folly's website at www.folly.co.uk/opportunities.


Shortlisted artists will be invited to visit Lanternhouse on the 16th or
17th March 09 to meet representatives of folly and Lanternhouse, talk
through their ideas in more detail and share expectations of the
residency.

Further questions can be directed to Kathryn Lambert, folly Creative
Director or Jay Haigh, Creation Centre Director at Lanternhouse
