The Jacky Winter Group are currently inviting expressions of interest from emerging illustrators and image-makers to work in-residence at our gallery, Lamington Drive.

Objectives

The primary purpose of the 8wk residency with LD is to give emerging illustrators and image-makers a chance to create new work in a traditional gallery environment and to allow them to interact with the public in new ways. From works in progress to finished art, an open studio to exhibition.

When

The Lamington Drive Residency will run from Fri June 7 – Fri Aug 2. The duration of the Residency will be 8 weeks with 4 participants working simultaneously – consisting of on-site production and exploration (open to the eyes of the public) culminating in an exhibition mid August.

Lamington Drive is open Wednesday-Friday 11am-6pm and Saturday 12-5pm each week. We would expect that residents will be available to work on-site at the space during gallery hours at the very least 50% of the time. The gallery will not be available to residents outside of gallery hours. The gallery will be open to visitors for the duration of the residency during gallery hours.

What is offered
There are four spots available for the Lamington Drive Residency. The artists selected will be provided a white walled gallery space to work from, a desk and chair, access to wifi and power, and full use of the gallery walls. They will also be offered the opportunity to sell their work directly from the gallery if they wish. Any sales of work must be managed by the resident directly in the manner they best see fit. The gallery will not be taking a commission on any sold works during the 8wk residency.

Residents will be asked to create new work and be expected to display works in progress on the gallery walls, in compliance with the specified gallery install guidelines. This document will be provided, along with a gallery floorplan, prior to residency commencement.

Residents will be autonomous, working predominately through their own self guided and initiated projects with the opportunity for some consultation with the gallery staff to decide on the outcome of the residency and culminating exhibition.

What to bring
Residents will be required to bring all their own materials associated with their practice.
