Visiting Arts in partnership with The Delfina Foundation is pleased to announce Artist to Artist International 2011.

The programme provides an opportunity to bring together artists to
initiate dialogues across international borders, enabling pairs of
artists to enter into new working relationships on an open-ended and informal basis.
Professional, practising UK based artists can apply to invite an artist of their choice, to visit UK for two weeks for the exchange of ideas and experiences.

The scheme has a geographic focus for UK based artists to invite artists from the following countries and territories – Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Morocco, Oman, Palestine Territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

The selected overseas artist will spend 2 weeks in the UK.

The emphasis is on the development and research process rather than production, free from any obligation to produce a prescribed outcome.

All selected participants will need to be available from the 30th March until the 17st April 2011 (fixed).

DEADLINE for applications 25th February 2011

Update: extended deadline: 4 March 2011
