10 week Creative Writing Course at ARC

Linda Cleary will be running a 10 week Creative Writing course at ARC from February 2010. The course will look at various techniques and exercises to open up & improve writing writing skills, work with metaphor and imagary, create texts and narratives to given themes and word counts as well as free writing and the end goal will be to write a 1000 word short story. The course will consist of one 3 hour session a week for 10 weeks. Maximum 10 people. Please email me for more information and booking: lindawildfire@hotmail.com

Stipend Update

ARC would just like to say a big thank you to all the artists that applied for the stipend and to let you know that we are going through the applications daily and still hope to be on target with a decision by the end of this month; meaning that we will inform everyone by the beginning of January.

The standard is high and we received over 60 applications for the 2 awards, so I am sure you can all imagine it will be a difficult decision.

It is inspiring and energy giving to read through so many wonderful proposals and feel linked in with so many international artists. We are looking forward to opening our doors and living creatively and artfully with all our resident artists of 2010.

Art & solidarity, Linda

ARC wishes all its prospective resident artists of 2010 a warm welcome!!!

Room rates are very reasonably priced at ARC and include use of work space. Artists wanting to book in their time at ARC only need to tell us a little bit about themselves and their practice and the dates that they would like to come.

Come and create!!! Or indeed; relax, unwind and be inspired!!!

Deadline Over - Applications Now Closed

Well.. we have received many inspiring and wonderful applications for the two stipends available in 2010 and we wish to thank all the artists who have applied. We will look over them carefully and make a decision at the end of December 09. All applicants will be notified in early January 10.

Applications for the Stipends

We are still receiving proposals for the two stipends available and due to the volume of applicants we have brought the deadline forward to December 1st. 

We will look through the proposals in detail over December and inform all applicants of the decision in January.

The proposals are coming thick and fast from the most interesting and inspiring international artists of various artistic mediums and the quality is high.  It will be a very tough decision to choose only two from the applications.

We wish to remind all artists that they can book in to ARC at any time at very reasonable rates and for that there is no deadline or application process other than letting us know a bit about yourself and what you would like to achieve during your stay and the dates that you wish to book.  Of course some artists may be wanting to book some necessary rest & relaxation time and we will be pleased to accommodate you in that wish.

Art & Love

Linda Cleary
