Hugo Burge Foundation Visual Arts Residency
Hugo Burge was turning Marchmont House into an arts venue before his sudden death. Now the foundation set up in his name is offering a residency for a “visual artist working with any medium who has an interest in art as activism and whose work advocates for social, political, environmental, or cultural change”.
The residency will offer a period of self-directed research and development followed by the opportunity to exhibit the resultant work in the Summerhall Galleries between December this year and February 2025.
It is a fully funded residency that includes exclusive studio space in the large Old Squash Court studio, accommodation in one of Summerhall’s Hobbit Pods, and a weekly stipend of £350 which will be paid to the artist at the start of the residency.
More information on the Summerhall website. Deadline is 15 May.
