unincorporated collaborations

The Mothership is for artists seeking a rural retreat, with access to farmland, woodland, the west dorset coast, and potentially some collaboration or exchange about practice. Residents are invited to work however they want, without pressure to produce anything particular. Work is selected on the basis of current practice and there are no expectations of a product although an invitation to contribute into the community is extended. The residencies range in length from a weekend - 6 weeks and can be scheduled suiting the individual's schedule. Residents live and work in a large, purpose-built ‘eco-studio’; with wood fired heating, kitchenette, and a compost toilet and shower. There is also the option of staying in the Buccaneer caravan for your residency. This is a small trailer-type caravan with electricity and a wood burner.
