2012 artists selected

Since 2005 Yorkshire Artspace has delivered an ambitious artists' residency programme, offering selected artists access to space, time and money to develop their ideas and/or create a new body of work.  The programme enabled us to work in close collaboration with partner organisations with whom we devise a range of complementary activities to enable public access, community engagement and artist professional development.  Through this programme Yorkshire Artspace has been able to raise its organisational profile regionally, nationally and internationally.

We started our brand new programme in January 2011, supported by Arts Council England - Yorkshire and Paul Hamly Foundation.  We selected two artists who have begun their residencies at our new neighbourhood studio sites at Manor Oaks and Parson Cross.  The residency programme is now closely linked to new starter studio programmes that are also located at these  new studio sites.

Manor Oaks Residency for Ceramicist 2012

The studios in the Manor area of Sheffield were completed in August 2010 and consist of 4 large studios, one of which houses our new starter studio programme for emerging ceramicists.  We selected Edinburgh based artist/ceramicist  Frances Priest for our first residenc.  Frances' residency is documented on the residency journal blog page of the website and you can download a text written by Dr Becky Shaw from the right hand side of this page.

On 24th November we selected artist Edith Garcia to undertake the 2012 Manor Oaks residency.  More information on Edith and the ideas she wishes to explore during the year will be available in January.   

Parson Cross residency 2011/12

The studios in the Parson Cross area of Sheffield are in the process of being built and are due for completion in September 2011. These studios are part of a mixed use building and Yorkshire Artspace will be managing 10 large studios, one of which is to house our new starter studio programme for artists whose work centres around engaged practice.  We have selected Glasgow based artist Lisa Gallacher to undertake the 2011 residency.

We have recently selected Ania Bas to undertake the residency at Parson Cross in 2012.
