Website: http://www.artquest.org.uk/berlin.htm

Artquest, in partnership with ACAVA, is running its 3-month visual arts studio residency in Berlin from 15 September - 19 December 2008.

This is an exciting opportunity for a London-based visual arts/crafts practitioner at any stage of their career to live and make new work in one of Europe’s most dynamic and exciting cities.
Artquest / ACAVA will provide a free live/work studio for 3 months, return air fare, a £600 bursary and £100 towards artists materials.

There will be no pressure to produce a body of work as a result of this residency.
The selected artists sole obligation will be to write a short email diary / blog each month about their experiences. This could include updates on work produced, galleries visited, or a general overview of life in Berlin and could incorporate images and / or photographs.

About the studioThe selected artist will be based in a building shared with 40 local artists who are members of the Milchhof art group. It comprises a studio space (398 sqft), basic living space with cooking facilities and a mezzanine platform sleeping area. There is a shower and toilets across the corridor, which are shared with the other artists in the building. The live /work space is situated in Mitte, at the heart of the Berlin art scene.
