Eichstätt Lithography Residency Award
THE SOCIETY OF SCOTTISH ARTISTS is delighted to be working in partnership with Li Portenlänger, Director of Lithographie-Werkstatt Eichstätt in Bavaria, Germany, a small, well-equipped studio specialising in stone lithography and its international promotion. The bi-annual Lithography Residency Award offers time working in the studio and a solo exhibition with opening reception. The residency includes visits to local sites of cultural interest such as the Solnhofen lithographic limestone quarry, providing a palaeontological background to this historic medium, and a visit to the University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt library to view pieces from the studio’s ever expanding Lithography Collection, which includes lithographs from various artist residencies in Eichstätt.
The award is for a self-motivated artist with prior experience of working in stone lithography and the application must include a referee to verify technical skills. The artist will gain experience of Li’s unique working methods and will have the chance to expand their knowledge of the medium. Li herself is a practising artist and lithographer who regularly visits Scotland and has worked at Edinburgh Printmakers as a visiting artist.
A daily allowance and accommodation in St Walburg Guest House is provided, along with all studio fees, but transport costs to and from Germany are the responsibility of the winner. The winner will be invited to exhibit a piece of work created during the residency at a subsequent SSA annual exhibition in the Royal Scottish Academy building in Edinburgh. Application is open to all artists working in lithography worldwide, but membership of the Society of Scottish Artists is essential.
Deadline: 31 March 2018.
