Raspberry Pi Foundation and Wysing Arts Centre residency opportunity

The Raspberry Pi Foundation and Wysing Arts Centre are inviting applications from artists to participate in a part-time, six month residency, embedded with two Cambridge-based organisations at the leading edge of creativity and innovation. 
Both organisations share a commitment to inclusivity and creative learning and, through this collaboration, we are looking to support an artist to develop their work and to help us gain new perspectives that can inform our own practice.

The residency will provide the selected artist with the chance to: 

- Explore and take risks without the expectation of developing new work. 
- Experiment with new approaches, materials and technologies.
- Embed themselves with two unique organisations and engage with their communities.

The residency will suit an artist with an interest in digital technology, although you don't need to use digital technologies as your medium. We are particularly interested in artists who are interested in exploring the intersection between technology, inclusion, and young people.

DEADLINE: 9 October
