Submitting a Proposal to the Residency Program at FMC
In association with the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival, Flinders Medical Centre (FMC) is inviting proposals for participation in an Artist-in-Residence program in 2018 from South Australian artists or groups of artists for up to six months.
Proposals should include an expected outcome of new works inspired by FMC, through residency in a clinical, research or public area, and which is suitable for display at FMC during the SALA Festival in August 2018.
Proposals need to include the following:
1. A current CV for each participating artist
2. A selection of images of previous work with detailed information
3. An outline of the intended residency project (media, concept, possible activities, potential outcomes)
4. The intended timeframe, and
5. An indication of space and display requirements.
The Residency will be coordinated by Arts in Health at FMC, who will facilitate all practical and organisational aspects of the Residency. Successful participants will receive office support, as well as facilitated access to selected clinical, research and public spaces in the hospital. There is no designated studio space, but possibilities for this can be negotiated. Collaborations and the creation of work in public spaces will be encouraged. Participants will have the opportunity to observe and interact with FMC staff, patients and visitors under the guidance of Arts in Health at FMC.
FMC will require successful participants to complete all the necessary screening and staff orientation procedures.
Residencies are considered according to proposal strength and innovation, relationship to FMC activities and/or specific infrastructure and space requirements. Sound, audio visual and digital work will be considered.
Artist Fee – selected individual artists or artist teams will be paid a total fee of $2,000 (ex GST). $1,000 will be paid upon signing the MOI to assist artists with materials and expenses with the final payment of $1,000 being issued on completion of the project.
