The ROOM mobile space is looking for artist to apply to use the space as a temporary studio whilst it is situated in Sheerness. ROOM is currently staying at Bartons Point Coastal Park. This is a self-funded residency aimed at emerging artists, there is currently no materials or subsistence money available. The project will be supported by marketing and promotional help, website listings, and help with coordinating and end ‘showcasing’ event for each project selected. Artists will be responsible for opening and closing the space on a daily basis, and will need to provide a suitable public liability insurance to cover activities held within the space (whether lone working or with groups). The supply of electricity is free, and there are no rental costs. There are public toilet facilities within 100 yards of the space, and the space is fully disabled accessible (for lone working people in wheelchairs will need help placing the entrance ramp). The recreation ground is an open well used public space owned by Swale Borough Council, which is approximately 30 minutes walk for the town centre and the train station. The image below shows the exact location. Artists wishing to apply are invited to email the following documents; · A single page Proposal of research/activity · CV or artists statement · Link to website or 5 low resolution images showing examples of previous work. Applications must be sent to; [email protected]. Blog of Project History; roomnorthkent.wordpress Artist who have used the space so far include; Dan Scott, John Dargan, Germander Speedwell, Chris Reed, Jane Pitt, Trish Scott, Erin Newell, Greg Reed, Julie Bradshaw, Richard Perry, Agnieszka Kozlowzska, Sioux Peto, Amy Curtis and Jim Allchin.
