^ last year's midseason

 

WHAT YOU’LL GET

A 6-week program created around the needs of starting artists. A 6-week residency in Groningen, a group show on a beautiful ship, an artist fee, fee for material and travel costs,  new contacts, coaching by former resort artists and SYB CIRCLES members (Kunsthuis SYB). And a whole lot of reflection plus… of course your own wearable resort souvenir and your portrait in our hall of forever fame.

 

WHAT WE ASK

Your time and full attention - it will be a very packed time consuming program as you create new work and do research. If you join the midseason program we suggest you keep November 9 - December 20 free from other projects.

Be open - You will participate in a group show and the program will be a group process. So you have to be open to work together and reflect on each other.

Create new work - you’ll create a new site-specific work on a ship and present your research at the Der Aa-Kerk.
