We are seeking to appoint an artist in residence. We are looking for an artist who uses clay in their practice in innovative or experimental ways. The successful candidate will have an exciting and dynamic visual art practice and a profile of developing and exhibiting work at an international level, or will have the potential for this.
This opportunity has been developed as a collaboration between Newcastle University and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and there will be an opportunity for the artist to develop plans for an exhibition of their work in one of Britain’s most important contemporary spaces after the completion of the residency. The artist will be based full-time in the Fine Art studios in Newcastle University.

The post is available from October 2016 with the start date to be negotiated.
