Flax Art Studios is delighted to be working with Fluxus Art Projects, Institute Français and Frac Grand Large, Dunkirk to host Magnetic Residencies 3.

We are promoting the open call for artists based in Northern Ireland for a residency at Frac Grand Large in Dunkirk. And, in tandem, Flax will be hosting an artist from Hauts-de-France for a residency in Belfast. 

The Dunkirk residency is exclusively open to artists based in Northern Ireland.

The residency is run by the Frac Grand Large in partnership with the Ecole Supérieure d’art Dunkerque | Tourcoing. Located at a geographic and cultural crossroads (United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, etc.), the Frac Grand Large is the leading actor of a network of regional and European partners promoting the circulation of ideas, artists and artworks.

The Frac and Ecole Supérieure d’art Dunkerque | Tourcoing welcome applications that shed light on the artistic, social, and economic links and tensions between art and industry, at a time of ecological urgency and the Anthropocene. The Frac is also particularly interested in research related to art deployed in the public space.

Magnetic programme is characterized by several strengths:
Societal and environmental issues are at the heart of this programme, the residencies are situated, with the selected artists expected to work according to the focus of each residency, in resonance with each specific context – geographical or historical, societal, artistic etc 
Artists receive a threshold monthly fee of £ 2100/2500 € 
Each artist benefits from curatorial mentoring 
Each residency is tailor-made in discussion with the institutions’ curatorial teams 
Each residency provides the artist with networking opportunities throughout their stay 

Artists are provided with accommodation and access to a work space

Open call from 21 May to 15 July
