THANK YOU! CHAPTER RESIDENCY AND SOLO EXHIBITION Applications are invited from artists for a residency and solo exhibition at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, UK.

ABOUT CHAPTER Chapter Arts Centre was established in 1971 and houses a large gallery, 50 studios, two cinemas and a theatre with several rehearsal and residency spaces. In addition, the centre has a busy bar and caf� and is a meeting point for artists and cultural organisations from all over the UK and Europe. ABOUT THE GALLERY Chapter Gallery runs an ambitious contemporary visual art programme at the heart of which is support of artists. This is achieved through commissioning new work, touring exhibitions, developing a programme of national and international residencies, publishing, and creating forums for critical reflection via commissioned essays and a programme of talks and events.

Chapter Gallery will cover costs for normal usage of heat and light in the studio. The gallery at Chapter is approximately 225 m2 and the successful artist will be able to utilise the entire space if required. The gallery is a flexible space and Chapter will provide technical and curatorial support. ARTIST�S FEE Chapter will pay an artist�s fee of �2,500 (approx. 3,738 Euros) for the period of the residency. This is to cover the costs of accommodation, travel, stipend, artist�s exhibition fee and materials towards the production and presentation of new work for exhibition at Chapter. All other costs, except for normal exhibition costs, will be borne by the artist.
