Jerwood Painting Fellowships 2013

Jerwood Painting Fellowships
Call for Entries 2013
Deadline 30 January 2012

Jerwood Visual Arts (JVA) is delighted to announce the mentors for the 2013 Jerwood Painting Fellowships: Marcus Harvey, Mali Morris RA and Fabian Peake. This is the second year of the Fellowship scheme which aims to promote and support exceptional emerging painters in the first five years of their professional practice. The purpose of the Fellowships is to offer structured development opportunities in two distinctive areas: studio practice and professional development.

Three Fellowships will be awarded with each Fellow receiving a bursary of £10,000 and one year of critical and professional development support from mentors. This programme of support will be designed to suit the needs of each Fellow. During the Fellowship year each artist will work towards a body of new work, which will be exhibited in a group show as part of the JVA programme at Jerwood Space, London in
March 2013, before touring within the UK.

Jerwood Painting Fellowships is an open submission opportunity. Entry is by online application and artists must be resident in the UK and within five years of graduating or beginning their professional practice.

‘Professional life for artists starting out in their practice is tougher than ever right now. The second year of the Jerwood Painting Fellowships aims to provide a stimulating framework in which three outstanding artists can explore their work alongside invaluable peer and mentor support. It is by no means rocket science, but with the right ingredients of time, money and conversation, significant distances can
be traveled through the sharing of ideas.’ Shonagh Manson, Director, Jerwood Charitable Foundation.

Closing date for entries: 30 January 2012

All materials for each sound sample – i.e. the score, a description of the work, photos, videos – should be clearly collated for the jurors. If specific parts are to be listened to, they should be marked accordingly.

3. Filmmakers:
Videotapes, DVDs (please note: copied DVDs are often not readable, therefore NTSC, PAL, Beta preferred), scripts – but please no more than 2 work samples, preferably most recent works, with subtitles. Please include a synopsis of every film submitted.
Maximum viewing time per candidate: 15 minutes. Thus, please mark the extracts which you would prefer to be viewed, especially with regards to long films.

In the field of visual arts, a commission recommends invitations to internationally known artists. Therefore, applications in the field of visual arts are not possible.

An invitation to the Berliner Künstlerprogramm is one of the most sought- after scholarships in the world. Therefore, because of the exceptionally large number of applications compared to the limited number of scholarships available, many highly qualified applications cannot be considered. The non-acceptance of an application is not in any way a negative value-judgment about the artistic work of the applicant. Reapplication is possible.
