Although it is not a formal scheme, since its development in 2015, the University Art Collection has facilitated several artist residencies alongside The MERL and the University of Reading.
We also work collaboratively with University colleagues to create micro-residencies. Creative practitioners gain access to the Collections, specialised curatorial expertise and the opportunity to share their work to diverse audiences.
CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES
The University Art Collection is seeking Expressions of Interest for the design and delivery of a large-scale mural on the University of Reading’s Whiteknights campus. Spanning approximately 9.5m wide x 3m high, the mural will be painted onto the wall of the University of Reading’s historic Edith Morley building. The mural will celebrate 100 years since the University of Reading was granted a Royal Charter and became a university.
