[ELECTRON] fwd: G R O W Artists Residency

[Simon Yuill]

G R O W Artists Residency

Community Growers is a new scheme where food growers within a number of
central Sheffield neighbourhoods will be given resources and support to
encourage and nurture localised food growing. This could be in backyards
and front gardens, window boxes, cascading down tower blocks.

The GROW Artists residency provides an open remit to create new,
innovative artwork(s) with the Community Growers scheme and with the
communities involved.

The residency runs from July 2009 to March 2010. The residency can take
place over a more intensive time frame if this suits the project(s) you
have in mind.

Residency Fee: £3200 (25 days +)
Materials: £600
