The Cromarty Arts Trust Student Residency Prize is open to any student who will graduate this year, or to artists who have graduated in the past two years, in any art-form from a college or university in Scotland. The prize consists of a student residency at the Cromarty Stables for one month in the autumn. Accommodation (which can be shared with a partner) and studio space will be provided. A grant of £750 towards travel, materials and subsistence costs will also be paid to the winner.

Use of a car is recommended because the studio is about a mile from the accommodation in Cromarty.

The residency is primarily intended to provide an opportunity for the winning artist to develop their own work in a new and inspiring environment at the beginning of their artistic career.

The resident artist will also be expected to:

• Hold a public event i.e. a talk or an educational workshop together with a small informal exhibition

• Write a short retrospective report about their residency

• Leave behind a piece of their work for the Cromarty Collection

Applications should be made directly to:

Cromarty Arts Trust, Ardyne, Bank Street, Cromarty, IV11 8YE
