Susquehanna Art Museum’s 9th annual juried exhibition invites artists to submit works that explore subjects relating to the domestic. In a time when social, political, and familial norms are being revealed and renegotiated on an international scale, the term ‘domestic’ relates to a wide range of topics.

Submitted works may include but are not limited to the following subject matter: the architecture or design of homes, neighborhoods, and cities; domestic labor; gender and social roles; domestic and foreign policies; domesticity; boundaries and borders; indigeneity; political and interpersonal relations; and domestication.

Selected artworks will lean into the complexity of what is considered domestic and offer a nuanced interpretation of the concept. Work in all media is welcome for consideration, and selections will be made based on the applicability to the theme as well as the group of pieces that work best as a whole. Submissions are limited to works with a maximum dimension of 72”.

The Residence:
Our house is located in Tagle, Suances Town Hall, Cantabria, in the north of Spain.
We are immersed in a geographical space full of human activity for many thousands of years and with an important heritage of Palaeolithic art. Altamira, Monte Castillo and Covalanas are the best known examples of the many existing caves in the region that preserve our first works of art.
Many thousands of years ago, a first person looked for the elements, generated the pigments, elaborated the tools, selected the space, observed the environment in detail, decided that he / she wanted to capture, went into the depth and darkness of a cave and, once there, in an awkward position, he / she created. Creating means making something out of nothing.
The origin of art is what guides us in our art programs, taking it as a reference for a new beginning and nature as the starting point to achieve it.
It is always a good time to start, restart, explore changes, look for new languages, or simply step out of our comfort zone.
Surrounded by this magic and its surroundings, our residents from all disciplines of the arts will develop their projects here.
Andrea Juan and Gabriel Penedo Diego will carry out continuous monitoring and support on the evolution of your project to encourage and stimulate its development until, at the end of the residency, you have transformed it into a work.

We offer to the Artists:
– Accommodation for 12 nights in a private room.
– Amenities consisting of food and cleaning supplies for individual or general use such as coffee, tea, milk, cookies, oil, rice, etc. Fresh products or those not included in the detailed list in the annex “Price and Conditions” will be paid by the resident.
– Transfer of the group to and from the city of Santander (or its airport) on your arrival and on your departure.
– Visit at the National Museum of Altamira, including tickets and transfers, accompanied by Andrea and Gabriel.
– Visits, in two days, to the caves of El Pendo, Las Monedas, El Castillo and Covalanas. Includes entrance fees, transfers and lunches and the full-time guide of Andrea and Gabriel.
– Guidance and advice in the development of your work through individual and group talks, daily visualization and monitoring of your work in progress by Andrea Juan and Gabriel Penedo Diego,
– Artists will be included to this site, in “Artists”, spreading the works carried out during your residency.

Moving Narratives is a programme developed in collaboration with British Council, which supports creative practices committed to moving the world towards equitable and just futures.

Are you an artist or cultural practitioner recentring marginalised histories or challenging contemporary narratives? Then we invite you to apply for Cycle 2 of Moving Narratives: a multi-disciplinary programme, which supports artists to explore and strengthen creative practices that reconsider historical legacies and explore emancipatory movements. 

Dominant discourses and one-sided worldviews influence the organisation of society, politics, and individual life. This can lead to the exclusion of diverse experiences and perspectives, denying space for critical voices and sustaining social inequalities. Creative practices can play a crucial role in challenging the status quo and recentring marginalised narratives. By working with nuanced perspectives that show social and political complexities, artists have the power to expand our understanding of the past and reimagine our visions of the future.

Programme
A partnership between the Prince Claus Fund and British Council, each year Moving Narratives brings together 12 socially and politically engaged mid-career artists and cultural practitioners working across diverse mediums and approaches. Different interpretations of the mentorship’s overarching theme are welcomed. 

Supported by four mentors, participants are encouraged to collectively experiment, exchange, and develop artistic strategies that address dominant narratives and the inequalities they sustain. We invite applications from artists who are active within their local communities, and we prioritise practices that focus on intersectional and critical approaches that challenge dominant worldviews and discourses.

To foster conversations and collaborations within the cohort, and to support each artist in their practice, the programme includes workshops, reading groups, guest talks, and peer-to-peer review sessions. The mentors guide participants and provide constructive feedback, to encourage exploration and to challenge and support their practice. Most of the activities are online, but the cohort comes together twice in person for the Lab Weeks (six-day intensive mentoring sessions). Within the programme, the cohort collectively creates a joint project in the form of a printed publication and online platform.  

Additionally, each participant receives an award of €10.000 to work on the project or body of work outlined in their application. While the grant is not limited to a strict project plan or budget, the participant’s proposed project is used as a baseline for the programme and informs the sessions with the mentors.     

Emerging artists are defined as follows:

An emerging artist is typically someone who is in the early stages of their artistic career, often characterized by a growing body of work, limited recognition (regardless of the skill level or content of their work), and a developing reputation within their artistic community or industry. Emerging artists may have recently graduated from art school or recently begun showcasing their work publicly. They are usually exploring their artistic voice, experimenting with different techniques, styles, and mediums, and seeking new opportunities to exhibit or sell their work to a wider audience. An artist may be considered an emerging artist regardless of their age, experience, or skill level; essentially, an emerging artist is defined as one who has yet to reach a high level of career success or public recognition for their work.

Overview
The Adventure Filmmakers Workshop is an exceptional chance for independent and emerging filmmakers to advance their skills under the guidance of two of the world’s premier and proven adventure filmmakers. During a jam-packed 10 days in the fall, participants will hone their craft, strengthen their skills, and network and mingle with fellow filmmakers, industry insiders, and decision-makers.

This all takes place within the core of the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, where epic stories are told through the eyes of adventurers, authors, photographers, and filmmakers from around the globe.

What does the program offer?
Workshop sessions will help participants sharpen their narrative, vision, organize their workflow, develop audio and editing techniques, and perfect their pitches. Our faculty promote an open, interactive, and creative atmosphere.

We pack the days with hands-on practice, lively discussion, and brainstorming. We’ll welcome industry insiders as guest speakers, offering rare access to potential mentors, collaborators, sponsors, and backers. The workshop includes on-campus lodging and meals — all participants have to do is focus on their craft and soak up the inspiration.

Who should apply?
This workshop was designed for filmmakers. To get the most from the program, applicants should have a strong desire to take the next step in all aspects of their filmmaking, including pre-production, pitching, location skills, the handling of the edit, and distribution. Past participants have included elite athletes transitioning to filmmaking, adventurers wanting to expand to different media platforms, and established filmmakers wanting to break into the adventure genre.

This program is aimed at those committed to filmmaking as a life choice. A strong knowledge of technical sound, camera, and editing is essential. Applicants are encouraged to focus on one specific film project they would like to develop and be prepared to share it with the group with a view to moving that idea into production in the near future.

*Scholarship of 100% is available and will be applied to cover tuition, and 50% is available to offset meals and accommodation costs.

This year’s prize invites emerging artists to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues and act as a beacon of hope in the pursuit of a better tomorrow.

The Adobe Creative Residency at the V&A is a new, fresh approach to bring making into the museum. This programme will enable the museum to employ three full-time residents, five days a week for 12 months. Each resident will work with a designated audience to bring creativity, design and making to diverse audiences. Embedded within the V&A learning team, residents will commit half their time to developing engaging programming across the V&A sites around their craft, this will include V&A South Kensington, Young V&A, and V&A East. New residents will play a key role in the expansion of the V&A's public programming efforts. Residents will also work with local communities across the UK to create a new model of programming outside the museum to build and sustain links with underserved communities. Additionally, each resident will receive studio space, mentorship, resources, access to the museum's resources and staff expertise. Their work will be featured in a six-month display at the close of their residency.

All our residents are audience-focused. We aim for you to draw from our collections to inspire careers in the creative industries as well as future design and artistic practice. You will be expected to work actively with visitors through educational activities, as well as develop your personal practice. Each open call will identify a core audience that we’re keen for you to work with: schools, families or young people. You can see the extent of the V&A's Learning Programmes on our website. Residents will be expected to commit half their time to developing engaging programming around their craft across the V&A sites with the V&A learning team.

Residents are also required to open their studio to the public or show their work in progress to visitors in the galleries through open studio events. If you don't enjoy working with the public and are not comfortable sharing your work in progress, then this residency programme is probably not for you. However, many of our alumni comment about the value of this experience, encouraging them to become more confident and articulate in describing their work and sharing ideas with a variety of audiences.
