Artist advisory group - call for participants
firstsite are looking for artists to volunteer to join a new Artist Advisory Group, which will contribute to a review of our Artists' Support Programme, aimed at supporting artists in Essex and the wider region. The role of the Artist Advisory Group is to discuss, comment on, and contribute ideas to proposals arising from action research projects. We are keen to involve a wide range of artists at whatever stage in their careers, whether they are new to firstsite or have worked with us on previous occasions. For further information or to register your interest please email Judith on jstewart@firstsite.uk.net

Cyprus Summer Studio 2010 - Cyprus College of Art Larnaca - June to August 2010
The Cyprus Summer Studio (also known as the Cyprus Summer School) was first held in 1969. Over the past 40 years it has welcomed many artists and art students from Britain, Ireland and many other countries to Cyprus, who come to spend up to a month making art, enjoying each other's company and lapping up the sunshine of the Cypriot summer. It is not a painting holiday, but it is also not an art course. It is simply an opportunity for artists and art students from other countries to come to the Cyprus College of Art and use our studios and accommodation during the summer vacation when our own students are on holiday. To apply please complete our online application form. You will need to pay a deposit of £100 by debit or credit card (via Paypal) with your initial application. After that the remaining fee will be due by 31 May 2010. Places are allocated at our discretion on a first-come-first-served basis with no other selection procedure. If your application is unsuccessful we will return your deposit in full.
