DFSA seeking a Graduate Artist in Residence

The position requires a contribution to teaching support and provides an opportunity to interact with the student body as you provide a model of creative professional practice within the University. There is an expectation that you will be at the university at least two days a week: supporting students and continuing your practice by making use of our resources and studio space as available. The Artist in Residence post is an unpaid post. The support of students is exchanged for access to UCA facilities and equipment.

1. To have experience as a freelance artist
2. Successful completion of a piece or multiple pieces of work as an independent artist
3. To support the cultural development of the course and School of Fine Art & Photography
4. To support specific teaching aims within the course programme

In return you will be asked to carry out work as agreed with the University for the Creative Arts. e.g.
1. Carry on with your own work
2. Plan exhibition visits
3. Give a talk on your own work and experiences on the course.
4. Work alongside students and help where needed sharing knowledge and experience.
5. Assist students to install exhibitions of work.

It is expected that the post will run from January – June 2018.
